BERNIE: ‘I DON’T THINK I HAVE TO’ EXPLAIN HOW TO PAY FOR SOCIALIZED MEDICINE.

2020 Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders of Vermont said in an interview published Tuesday that he doesn’t believe he needs to tell voters how it’s possible to fund his massively expensive plans for socialized medicine dubbed “Medicare for All.”

When pressed by CNBC’s John Harwood on how a Sanders administration would come up with enough revenue for the program, Sanders dismissed the concern.

“You’re asking me to come up with an exact detailed plan of how every American – how much you’re going to pay more in taxes, how much I’m going to pay. I don’t think I have to do that right now,” Sanders asserted.

Give Harwood, a loyal Democratic Party operative with a Chyron, credit for at least asking the question. In contrast, a recent New York magazine headline posited, “Elizabeth Warren Has Good Reasons to Stay Vague on Health Care.” Or as NYU Journalism professor Jay Rosen Orwellianly tweeted earlier this month, “The ‘make Elizabeth warren say she would raise taxes on the middle class’ question should be a credibility killer. For the journalists who keep asking it.”
