I don’t like Bernie because his “Medicare For All” plan is terrible for America’s health and economy

"If you doubt me about the benefits of competition, dig into your desk drawer and drag out one of your flash drives.  Take a good look at that useful little thing and think about this:  On Amazon today, you can get ten 8 GB flash drives for $44.00 — or $4.40 per flash drive.  What you probably don’t know if you’re under 35 is that, when flash drives first came out in the 1990s, their storage ability was measured by megabytes, not gigabytes, and their cost was in the hundreds of dollars.  What brought quality up and costs down was competition, unimpeded by government mandates and other market perversions."
Bookworm Room  "My college-age child introduced me to a website called I Like Bernie, But…which is particularly appealing to young voters. The website offers short answers to concerns pro-Bernie voters might still be harboring about his policies and his ability to win. With few exceptions, these answers are just plain wrong. You can see my rebuttals at a website I set up as a counterweight (I Don’t Like Bernie, Because…). I’ve republished those same articles here, at my own blog, addressing Bernie’s socialismhis tax plans, and his Second Amendment stance. Today I’m tackling everything that’s wrong with Bernie’s plan to socialize American medicine." . . .
This writer's article discusses these points:
I.  What Bernie promises. . . 
II. America cannot afford Bernie’s plan . . .
III. Progressive claims to the contrary, European health care not the wonderful thing that you think it is. . .
