Beyond that, by introducing a medicare for all system, hopefully it would mean that we could start to negotiate down the cost of healthcare services and medications in this country.

A report came out yesterday that Sanders tax plan would raise $15.5 trillion.
That is enough to pay off a HUGE chunk of the debt.
