Sanders thanks Koch brothers for accidentally making argument for medicare for all

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) thanked the Koch brothers on Tuesday for "accidentally making the case for Medicare for All" in a new analysis on the cost of single-payer healthcare.

Sanders made the comments in a video he posted to Twitter after a study published by Charles Blahous at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University — a center subsidized by the billionaire conservative activists Charles and David Koch.

"Let me thank the Koch brothers, of all people, for sponsoring a study that shows that Medicare for All would save the American people $2 trillion over a 10-year period," Sanders said.

Big business globalists want government “single payer” health care just as much as the left, but perhaps for different reasons. They don’t want to carry the burden of paying for their employees’ health insurance.

“...Medicare for All would save the American people $2 trillion over a 10-year period”

What a joke, facts are it will cost OVER $32 TRILLION!

So Sanders is fudging a bit...well A LOT!...

So w/the 2T “savings” it will bring down the cost to 30B$

The leftists will eat it up, WOW saving 2T$!
