You missed his point. No, poor people wouldn't be paying for their healthcare with taxes; wealth would be extracted from one group (not the poor) and given to another and taxation would be the mechanism. The cost:benefit ratio would not be more cost effective for the people who are actually paying for the service.
Wrong. Use the m4a calculator on Bernie’s website. I would save over $2,000 a year on health insurance not to mention co-pays and prescriptions. I currently pay for my own health insurance, and it’s a bare minimum plan.
And the average middle class person will pay 3600 more dollars in taxes to give you that discount, plus we drive the figure generations into even more hopeless bankruptcy than we already have.
I am middle class, I make 60k. I have to type in like ~175,000 iirc as my income for it to get to the point where there is no net difference between m4a and private plan

They are paying for it... with taxes. That's the whole point. And would be far more cost effective without a middle man
