Trump: I'll Veto Sanders' Single-Payer Curse Before It Could Ever Hurt The American People
Well, we all know that Sen. Bernie Sanders is pushing single payer health care. The self-described democratic socialist is committed to making this a reality. Yet, the reality, as we’ve seen from countries that have adopted this health care system, is that patient wait times are astronomically long, the quality of care is dismal, the expenditures are immense, and access to specialists is reduced to curb costs. In some European countries, doctors actually went on strike since their pay was being reduced as a cost-cutting measure. Taxes will go up for everyone, not just the rich—everyone including the working poor. We will shell out more money for reduced access to specialized care, drugs, and other procedures, but everyone will be covered. I don’t think voters will find that to be a palatable result.
Even The Washington Post editorial board noted the initiative’s insane price tag. Yet, the Democrats are going to play the long game on this issue. The silver lining is that Republicans control Congress, this bill from Sanders isn’t going anywhere, and now even Trump has weighed in—saying he will veto this curse before it could ever become law in the U.S. Even The Washington Post editorial board noted the initiative’s insane price tag.

“Bernie Sanders is pushing hard for a single payer healthcare plan - a curse on the U.S. & its people,” tweeted President Trump. “I told Republicans to approve healthcare fast or this would happen. But don't worry, I will veto because I love our country & its people.”

The US doesn't have thirty trillion extra laying around. It's a pipe dream.
Wouldn't that have bankrupted the countries that DO have universal health care - but they were never bankrupted by it, were they?
Maybe so Sean, but I guess that wouldn't happen if the US were to raise the tax rates and tax fairly the ultra-wealthy and take away their off-shore loopholes, to be similar to how other western countries with universal healthcare handle the expense. Funny, but I just yesterday explained to my wife's niece the meaning of the expression: "You can't have your cake and eat it too."
