Overwhelmed hospitals: planning for crisis

Finland’s healthcare system still flounders, Dems’ ‘Medicare for All’ hardest hit
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) again iterated his now well-worn “I wrote the damn plan” when Medicare for All was brought up in the most recent Democrat debate. The fact that he wrote it has been a self-inflicted thorn in Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s (D-MA) side since she signed on to Bernie’s Medicare...

Elizabeth Warren Responds to Ridicule of Her Medicare for All Plan with Major Revisions
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has been criticized by both the left and the right for her unrealistic and uber-expensive “Medicare for all” scheme. So much so, that she is in retreat mode now and has conceded that her big plan is untenable.

Elizabeth Warren has been catching flak from her fellow Democrat presidential candidates over her refusal to say how she will pay for her $30 trillion plus Medicare for All plan.
