Bernie Sanders held a town hall last night, where he sounded off on a number of issues including climate change, the Electoral College, and, of course, health care. Unlike Kamala Harris, however, at least Bernie’s not equivocating when it comes to where he stands on private insurance:
.@BernieSanders has a candid response when asked if he'd let people keep their private insurance under his health care plan:
"Nope."

There it is.
"The American people do not love their health insurance companies. In fact in many cases they detest their health insurance companies," says @BernieSanders.
His point is that losing your private plan doesn't = losing your doctor or hospital.

Suuuuuuuuure it doesn’t.
I remember Pres. Obama said we could keep our private plans and Doctors and such. Millions lost their insurance and the Obamacare rates were double or triple with less coverage.

At least he's honest. More honest than Obama was.

Bernie should definitely run on this.

Well then I'm not voting for him. I like to have the freedom to choose. My hand will not be forced.

I love it when candidates are clear. Makes it easier to know who not to vote for.

Then it’s a “Nope” at the voting booth. That was easy!

That’s the one thing that would get me to vote for Trump.

Bernie’s honesty may very well kill his shot at the presidency. But kudos to him for owning the fact that he’s really just a wannabe dictator.
Because all socialists are really just commie authoritarians https://t.co/HtYK37NTr4
