One user is bumping old Pro-Biden threads, so here's a new Pro-Bernie and Pro-Elizabeth thread.

Both are great candidates funded by grassroots organizations and regular people. Links to their web pages below.

Oh no. Joe compares Bernie and Elizabeth to Trump on M4A.

We don't need this.

For reference, here's some possible financing options. Of course, nothing is finalized and these are subject to change:

A 70 percent top marginal tax rate on Americans earning over $10 million per year;
A 77 percent top tax rate on estates above $1 billion;
A tax on "extreme wealth";
A "fee on large financial institutions";
A "7.5 percent income-based premium paid by employers, exempting the first $2 million in payroll to protect small businesses"; and
A four percent "income-based premium paid by employees, exempting the first $29,000 in income for a family of four."

Medicare for All - Full Text of the Bill

Since there's still so much confusion on what exactly Medicare for All does, partly thanks to some of our Democratic candidates, I'll be posting a link to the full text of the bill from time to time. Happy reading.

So proud of Bernie

He's been great tonight.
