“Medicare for All” is the critical platform upon which Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is pitching his tent in this year’s 2020 Democratic Party presidential nomination campaign (oh, as well as free college, student debt writeoffs, and the green new deal).
Sanders ceaselessly shrugs off his critics that enacting such a universal healthcare system would be prohibitively expensive (not to say liberty-destroying) for a ‘free nation’.
All of which raises the question – what’s changed since 1987 when the then mayor of Burlington explained that giving everyone Medicaid for all would be too much of a financial burden for the United States to bear.
He’s getting closer to accomplishing this feat.

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.”
Bernie knows this, so why does he keep making absurd promises?
He is a believer in the “Cloward-Piven Strategy” which seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.
He’s getting old so he’s desperate to get this dictatorship started while he can be part of the inner circle that enriches itself while all the rest of America is sucked dry.
