Yes, healthcare costs are ridiculous but MFA will not fly. Grudgingly, Sanders and Warren have admitted that middle class taxes will go up. But will it be enough? Every Economist worth their salt says no. Add in the plans for free college and etc. and it's clear that as Mark Cuban stated just today, their plans are completely unworkable.

If a single payer health care system works for Canada and the EU where they spend a significantly lower proportion of their GNP's on healthcare with better outcomes than the USA, why would it not work here?
Why do you continue to believe access to health care will be better provided by private insurance companies and the pharmaceutical industry than a medicare-type insurance for all? (The administrative costs of medicare are around 2%. Compare that with current insurance industry administrative costs.)
