"Ezra Klein (who is very expert on health care financing)"Whaaaaaaatttttt?????
Amazingly, Sanders focused on what taxes he proposes be increased to pay for the program.Good point. How many successful politicians spend a lot of time talking about how they are going to raise taxes on the working class? WTF?Ezra Klein is better than this.No, Ezra is not, but that's another story.Poor PR by Bernie, focusing on raising our taxes, while revealing very little about how health care would actually be administered, what would be covered, who would make the decisions, etc.. Matt Yglesias (I'm no fan of Matt but like a broken clock he is occassionally right) calls Bernie out on this: "I have to wonder if any of these folks have actually looked under the hood to see what’s actually in the bill. The answer is that nothing is under the hood."
