Democrats Follow Bernie Sanders Off a Cliff
Column: The bad math and foolish politics of single-payer health care

How rudderless is the Democratic Party? Its membership is so bereft of leadership and policy direction that 16 of its senators have signed on to a health care bill sponsored by a self-avowed independent democratic socialist from Vermont.

The "Medicare for All Act of 2017" would repeal Obamacare, along with most other private and public insurance, and replace it with a government-run, one-size-fits-all, centrally directed system of reimbursement for medical expenses. Sanders, who honeymooned in the Soviet Union, holds the same opinion of health insurance as he does antiperspirants: "You don't necessarily need a choice of 23 underarm spray deodorants or of 18 different sneakers when children are hungry in this country."

Good.

So Medicare is broke and can't cover the people that are on it, how is putting more people on it supposed to make it  solvent?  Answer: that's not the goal. The goal is dependency. Once enough people are dependent on government, nobody will support any cuts regardless of what it does to our credit rating, our currency etc. etc.
