Bernie Sanders wants to dismantle Obamacare!!

[KeepTalking]

So, the next time you make a post telling us what Bernie wants to do, try using direct quotes from Bernie himself, or at the very least, try reading the entire article you link, and while you're at it, make at least some sort of an attempt to understand what that article says.

Dude! The point of the thread was obviously to attack the Clintons, not to attack Sanders. Chill.

In that case, it would have been helpful if the OP had at least mentioned the Clintons in passing.

Anyway, I thought I was being pretty chill, after all, I have yet to use the word "fuck" in this thread.








Fuck!

Ok, so back to the OP:

"Sen. Sanders wants to dismantle Obamacare, dismantle the [Children's Health Insurance Program], dismantle Medicare, and dismantle private insurance," she said, according to an account from NBC News. "I worry if we give Republicans Democratic permission to do that, we'll go back to an era -- before we had the Affordable Care Act -- that would strip millions and millions and millions of people off their health insurance."

Also, Medicare, CHIP and private insurance.

Analysis: true.

Analysis, not true. Given that Sanders wants Medicare for all it's kind of silly to claim he wants to dismantle Medicare.

Can his campaign survive this revelation?

yes

Bah, that's just Clintonian parsing. Medicare as we know it would cease to exist.

My, my

It does appear that that some posters here are "feeling the Bern."

But it did!

Blah blah blah blah blah she blah blah blah blah blah

It is precisely this type of tripe from Clinton that tells me to vote Green if Sanders does not get the Dem nomination. It looks like ALL THE CLINTONS are the kind of politicians who are what I would call PUBLIC OPINION SURFERS...people with no integrity who carefully listen to public opinion and cobble together an interpretation that gets everybody thinking they are on the side of the people. The truth is they are only on their side and have misused the powers they have managed to accrue to themselves.

We know Bernie is not trying to trash government health programs, but trying to make them better. If improving on a thing is destroying it, well...that just goes to show what you get from Chelsea, Bill and Hillary.

It's going to be a loooooony election cycle.

FIFY

Hmm, I somehow missed that in his OP, which is interesting, as that is the most compelling argument I have seen from him in quite some time.

Aah, it warms my heart to have dismal start another thread based on a completely made up straw man. It's just so... dismal.

Phew. I'm glad this is back to being a thread about me. That derail into a discussion about the Clintons comments and Sanders health plan had me concerned.

Why are you the way you are? Perhaps if you could explain that, people might go a little easier on you.

This sure sounds like victim blaming. If I wear a longer skirt will people stop making silly and gratuitous comments about me on teh internets?

No, but you could at least stop shaving your legs, and maybe save some money on razors.

Are you now or have you ever worked for the Hillary Clinton campaign?

Hmmm, maybe I'll take personal questions later in the thread.

I feel if I take questions now it would inhibit people from speculating wildly about my motives, intents and word choices and an off topic Clinton/Sanders political discussion might break out.

What Bernie really wants.

http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/28/politics/bernie-sanders-obamacare-hillary-clinton-medicare/

Washington (CNN)Bernie Sanders isn't satisfied with the Supreme Court's affirmation last week of President Barack Obama's health care law.

Instead, the Democratic presidential hopeful said on Sunday he wants the United States to adopt a "Medicare-for-all" single-payer health care plan.
"We need to join the rest of the industrialized world," Sanders said on ABC's "This Week."

---
He doesn't so much as want to "end Obamacare" as replace it with something better and more comprehensive.

Single payer healthcare WOULD dismantle all of those just by virtue of its existence. Sanders supports single-payer, and so do I, and so does every doctor and nurse and hospital administrator in the entire country.

Private insurance wouldn't be dismantled.
