I know that Bernie's Bros are tired of talking about his healthcare bill and so are spamming people who criticize it with nonsense, BUT,
His healthcare bill is a dumb plan to run on because it would force 150 million people from plans they like.
This is from a Nevada union pamphlet on the various Democratic Party candidates:
Nevada's most influential union has not yet decided if it will endorse a candidate in the Democratic presidential race, but it's sending a subtle message to its members discouraging support for Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren over their health care stances.

Nevada union warns members of Sanders, Warren health plans
Nevada’s most influential union is sending a subtle message to its members discouraging support for Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren over their health care stances even though the union has not yet decided if it will endorse a candidate in the Democratic presidential race.
The casino workers’ Culinary Union, a 60,000-member group made up of housekeepers, porters, bartenders and more who work in Las Vegas’ famed casinos, began distributing leaflets in employee dining rooms this week that push back against “Medicare For All,” the plan from Sanders and Warren to move to a government-run health insurance system.
The leaflet said “presidential candidates suggesting forcing millions of hard working people to give up their healthcare creates unnecessary division between workers, and will give us four more years of Trump.”
The capper is this:
“We will not hand over our healthcare for promises,” the leaflet said.
The union fought long and hard for health care for its workers. It doesn't oppose Medicare for All but rightly identifies Bernie's bill as an empty promise. I won't hand over my healthcare for promises by Bernie either. I want to see the whole plan, I want to see it in operation and I want to be able leave it if it's not delivering quality for lower costs as promised.
James Carville said similar when he complained about how Democrats have gone away from the very successful approach we used to take back the House of Representatives. Telling people they will HAVE to give up a healthcare plan they like if they win control of DC is politically stupid, unnecessary and the only hope Republikkkans have of staying in power. We succeeded when we stuck to core Democratic policies of keeping healthcare costs down, protecting unions, the environment and sane gun regulations.
Go back to what worked in 2018, people.
