As many of you may have seen today its " Sen. Sanders hit piece day" in the media and on DU !

HRC supporters are jumping for joy that the media is pushing status quo talking points
Yet what they fail to see is that it is the voters that will decide if they want to continue on the same path or radically change the current system we have

terrified that they can only slow the slide.

How long did it take Obama to craft the ACA? A Long, long time and he had plenty of help. But hey, Bernie ought to be able to do it with the flick of a wrist, or some other flippant comment.

I think we can be at least a fraction capable of pulling off the "miracle" that every other industrialized (and some not) countries have done. Take care of all of our people.

Shame on the critics. Shame on trying to poke a stick in the wheels. Shame for thinking the Democratic Party does not care about all the uninsured. I could go on. If one is not sure about this, they should definitely think of changing their voter registration.

I'm sure all of the "Bigs" (pharma, insurance, et al) will handily find employment in the post drying out of the financial soaking of the middle class for which they have been responsible.

got this off reddit: who could argue against this???????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-----

"Under Bernie's healthcare plan, an estimated 27% of households will pay $0 in healthcare premiums,
68% pay less than $100/month, and 91% pay less than $250/month.
Plus, if you get sick or injured, NO copayment at the doctor, NO deductibles for treatments. "
