Seeing as Sanders is the Democratic candidate who thinks that government controlled healthcare is a good thing, it stands to reason that's what to talk about, regardless of if you said his name or not. -You asked why is Sanders taxing the middle class. I answered. -You asked if that means that the poor is getting taxed too. I answered -You said that's how bad Obamacare is and that is only going to get worse. I answered, saying lots of other countries have pulled it off successfully. -You argued that you don't trust Democratic candidates. -This is a Sanders thread. So between the last 2, of course I responded about Sanders. That's what the topic is about.
You can sit there and say that any healthcare system in any other country is cheaper than ours under Obamacare. Is that supposed to be an accomplishment? Our healthcare costs didn't rise up with Obamacare to suddenly becoming more expensive. Our Healthcare has been more expensive since about 1980. Obamacare was not in place at that time. Obamacare was a poor attempt at fixing the issue.
Sanders wants to replace it with the health care that most of the developed world has. Those countries are spending way less on healthcare than we are.
I have family members in the healthcare field that have told me that a single payer system would save money, just on the hospital side of things. Another benefit is that a government run health insurance wouldn't have to advertise.

A single payer system would save money, but at what cost?
This is the best way for you to see the light. I will pick two countries out of a list that you provided to me. Let us choose Austria and United Kingdom. Sound fair?
You claim that these countries have it right but you don't see the entire big picture. Rather than arguing back and forth, how about you just google search "Junior doctors United Kingdom".
Or better yet, I found a pretty nice publication in The Central European Journal of Medicine:
Go read and then come back to me.
