Jeanne Shaheen probably isn’t worried about her support of Bernie Sanders 2017 Medicaid for everyone plan, but Bernie Sanders was–30 years ago.
Back in 1987, a much younger Bernie Sanders apparently had that sense too. He warned that expanding Medicaid, the jointly run federal-state health care program for the poor and disabled, to everyone in the country would “bankrupt the nation.”
“If we expanded Medicaid [to] everybody. Give everybody a Medicaid card—we would be spending such an astronomical sum of money that, you know, we would bankrupt the nation.”
The math hasn’t changed. It would still bankrupt the country. So, did the socialism finally corrupt whatever passed for Bernie’s conscience or is he, like most Democrat Socialists, just trying to check another failed party policy prescription off the bucket list?
