I’m not going to talk to Bernie’s political viability, but big pharma/insurance contributions/support are going to start becoming toxic real soon, like with how Sackler money isn’t wanted at museums any more.  They’re reaching the point you know you can’t trust a damn thing coming out of their mouths.

### REPLY:
Well I've personally been in awe that Americans widely have continued to put up with the system we have. This whole high deductible thing going on now is a real kick in the teeth as well.  
  
 The thing is health care does still suck in an awful lot of ways in other western nations, so even if we get single payer it's not going to be nearly as good as people think. Financially it absolutely will be, no more of all that crap, but there are sacrifices.
