Another day, another promise of a payoff from presidential candidate and Senator Bernie Sanders:
Exclusive: Bernie Sanders is set to announce today a new plan that proposes wiping out an estimated $81 billion in Americans' existing medical debt. It calls for negotiating and canceling the debts, without specifying a precise mechanism. nyti.ms/2AyRiRV

And announce it he did:
79 million Americans are burdened by medical debt for the “crime” of getting sick. We’re going to eliminate all past-due medical debt. #EliminateMedicalDebt berniesanders.com/en/issues/elim…
626 people are talking about this
Watching the Dem candidates try and out-do one another on giveaways and payoffs has truly become a spectacle to behold:
We have no doubt he will!
“... without specifying a precise mechanism.”
Ever notice that the details of how exactly the debt will be eliminated are always lacking in these grandiose programs?

Pandering is hard. #CrazyBernie will shift this $81B onto taxpayers on top of his “Medicare For All.” That’s nearly $500 B. twitter.com/nytimes/status…

Why are we guessing that Bernie’s plans would end up costing people more money on the other end than the relief they provided?
While you’re at it why don’t you just promise to cancel ALL debt?
I mean if this is a good idea why not make it a great idea? twitter.com/nytimes/status…
