Actually, as I understand it many employers have ended their group health plan. For instance, Argonne Nat’l Laboratory, which is a DOE project, shut theirs down as of 1/1/16, if I remember rightly; they’d had it through Blue Cross for a long time. (Somewhere between 1990 and 1995, one the people who was with Employee Benefits, I think it was, told us that in fact Argonne’s insurance plan was self-funded; Blue Cross was just the administrator. Whether that was still the case when the plan was ended, I can’t say.)

OTOH, UPS still has theirs (at least in Illinois; I assume elsewhere as well).

At least Bernie had the honesty to admit that taxes on the Middle Class would have to go up to pay for Medicare For All and Free College. What happens when the MC runs out of money? The poor and lower income people don’t pay taxes now (ok SS they pay). And the rich have just so much too. Will Soros, Buffet, Gates and the others pay most of their wealth to the Feds for health care? They shelter so much now, will Bernie and the others change the tax code so money can’t be sheltered? Will they levy an immediate tax on retirement funds?
Remember. they are just getting started on the give a ways and other programs. Give it six months and lets see how much worse it gets.

Delaney said the same thing when I saw him in CB. He’s correct.

To paraphrase Instapundit: I may accept single payer healh insurance when the Legislature starts using it themselves. Somehow the Dems/Progs think they will have an upper tier system much better than the rest of us. If it ever comes to that: Tar, feathers and a ride out of town on a rail.

Remember the movie “Throw Momma from the Train”? That kind of represents Medicare for all. My hip replacement? Not, now, Momma, but thanks for paying into the Medicare fund for all your working years. Illegal immigrants’ medical needs?
They can step right up.

Wait until ugly people are given the right to be beautiful, too. Plastic surgery a basic right, I guess.

“On the one hand claiming they are not socialists, on the other hand…”

On the gripping hand, “Shut up and think what you’re told.”

This is why argument and analysis is so weak against them. You are not arguing with a brick wall, but with a wrecking ball.

On the one hand claiming they are not socialists, on the other hand demanding the government control the means of production of the entire healthcare industry.
