Democrats want to cancel the health policies of 180 million Americans

ObamaCare falsely promised Americans they could keep their health plans, but whatDemocrats really had in mind is now clear: They want everyone to lose their insurance and take what government gives them instead.

That’s obvious from Bernie Sanders’ Medicare for All scheme, rolled out Wednesday with the support of the party’s chief 2020 presidential hopefuls.

ObamaCare kicked some 7 million people off their plans. But Bernie’s bill would outlaw both employer-paid health care and private insurance for individuals.

That is, more than half the country — 180 million people — would have to say good-bye to their current plans (which they’re mostly happy with) and switch to BernieCare. (Most of the other half is already on some form of government health plan.)

Think of it as medical care run by, say, Motor Vehicles. Or the Veterans Administration: Long lines. Dangerously long waits for treatment. Shoddy service. Scarce resources. Fewer choices . . .

And monster bills. Sanders & Co. won’t talk about the costs. But independent estimates put it at $1.4 trillion or more a year.

College kids support this because BIG GOVERNMENT is GOOD? Fighting Nazis and supporting democrats who own mainstream media, want total government control of your personal health, control everything you watch and hear, yup that's fighting nazis?? Part of Fighting nazis aslo entails raising your TAXES to 75 percent to cover BIG GOVERNMENT? Democrats also want to make one type of vehicle for ALL! This all sounds familiar but I can't put my finger on it.. Maybe Hitler?
