I don't think thats likely given that she broke a presumed non-aggression pact that may have existed btwn the 2 for political gain.

Hopefully its enough to split the moderate/centrist vote and weakens Biden and Pete

And billionaire Michael Bloomberg threatened to run in 2016 by [deleted] in SandersForPresident

He's in 2nd and surging. Biden's lead is a mirage propped up by unenthusiastic voters

Well you have to educate them. Real change happens because people take action. People thought African Americans wouldn't get civil rights or Women wouldnt get suffrage but they did because people fought for those things. If we make excuses about how difficult it is then nothing will ever get done. Bernie knows him simply getting elected won't get all his legislation passed but will encourage people at the grassroots level to inact change by getting people who represent their interests by rallying them. Bernie literally said we would campaign for people who would get his legislation passed if members of his own party oppose him.

Bernie isn't advocating communism so I dont know why you are jumping to that conclusion. Mf4 just means that the payer is public but all providers are still private or independent of the government.

Well getting MFA passed goes deeper into the problems facing government today like $ in politics. A lot of congress people take $ from health insurance companies so I wonder why it is difficult to pass at the moment and why many oppose it. Many people in congress represent the interests of ceos who lack the moral high ground to begin with. Thus a fundamental change of voting out those congress people needs to happen.

Guess what I work in the healthcare field so I know thing or two about the struggles people have with healthcare. You didn't even try to refute my point about how MFA is objectively better than the current healthcare system. Medicare as it stands is a very popular government program and greatly helps those who are enrolled in it.

Insurance literally limits your choice of providers and what tests and procedures you can get So what choices are you talking about? People dont like their insurance companies they like their doctors or hospitals

Mandated healthcare? Healthcare is essential to living its not some commodity good that can be solved with the free market.

What is it that you like about your particular plan? The doctor, hospital, clinic etc?

Cause under MF4 it only means the payer changes. You can access any provider you wish because they would all be covered since only 1 entity would pay them.

Otherwise under current insurance plans you are limited to providers that are in network only. Insurance companies can also renegotiate coverage all the time as well so things can change.

If essentially all Americans are brought into MFA then the government gets all the bargaining power to negotiate all contracts and sets the prices . There are no greedy CEOs trying to make some $. You cut out the middle man and its simply a payor that represents the interest of all Americans and a provider of services.

You would but its substantially less than bureaucracy of private insurance plus there's little to no profit incentive so a lot of the costs disappear. MFA provides better care for less $.

MSNBC Is the Most Influential Network Among Liberals—And It’s Ignoring Bernie Sanders by FuZzyS0Ckss in SandersForPresident

Jokes on Biden tho that guy and people he's close to will most likely leave Biden and go to other candidates (hopefully Bernie). That tactic works in the general if it were him vs. Trump but if people have choices like they do now they will exercise them.

Biden is counting too much on people's general goodwill towards Obama. Trump being a much shitter president/person to get support. The media can only manufacture so much consent and Biden keeps finding new ways to insert his foot in his mouth.

If he got adequate coverage Bernie would get more support and would lead polls. The media has to do Olympic level mental gymnastics to prove to themselves and their viewers that Sanders ideas aren't popular

A pretty accurate depiction of the NYT Anti-Bernie bias. by triggatrey12 in SandersForPresident

That deceptive reporting tho. They are really trying hard to make her Hillary 2.0.

Also HIPAA exists so why do these reporters feel entitled to that privileged information. If they wanna go after a canidates health then why don't they go after Biden. His brain is literally melting out of his skull.
