Eight pages that is all he has three pages. Eight pages aren't a policy, eight pages are not a plan, eight pages are for Rubes who don't care about the realities and difficulties which make and developing and implementing health care policies that work. 

Sanders biggest problem is that he doesn't really have a plan. He does have an outline of what he wants to do, but no plan, and not one technical detail about how to achieve his "Medicare for All" plan. 

It took a bit more than 70 years for Democrats to actually have the issues at their side at the right time and the right time was in 2009, because we had it all, both houses and the executive branch. Does anyone remember how difficult it was with everything going our way? It wouldn't have mattered whether the President was Obama or Clinton, very similar plans would have been implemented, with the same tweaks to it you see before you. The difference, they'd call it HillaryCare and not ObamaCare. I still wonder why we don't refer to Social Security as Roosevelt security, but whatever... 

The problem for Mr. Sanders is, he doesn't have full policy development team like the Democratic Party, nor does he seemingly have a plan to develop the legislation fully, with detailed methods of  getting the House and Senate to act, or even an idea of getting them to act. Currently the House and Senate are Republican controlled so if he thinks he can just do it, without them, he's deeply delusional.

Sanders knows better though, because he is not deeply delusion, but he does know that the angry folks who want him elected are deeply delusional so he can basically say whatever he wants and they believe him. Bernie's hordes are not unlike Trumps hordes, they seem to not really care that this won't happen, because they hope it will. And while Republican's  will no doubt help him repeal PPACA, what they won't do it allow any other policy to be implemented ever.  And then Americans will begin to lose their access to healthcare. 

The Sanders Plan, have a quick read, because it's tiny and it won't take long.  There are glaring deficiencies in this eight page document.  And it leaves us unable to discuss his actual policies and implementation plans, because the PDF is not a plan, it is merely a statement of what American's should have.  

"The Plan" is literally one page long. 

Here it is:

The Plan

BETTER COVERAGE Bernie’s plan would create a federally administered single-payer health care program. Universal single-payer health care means comprehensive coverage for all Americans. Bernie’s plan will cover the entire continuum of health care, from inpatient to outpatient care; preventive to emergency care; primary care to specialty care, including long-term and palliative care; vision, hearing and oral health care; mental health and substance abuse services; as well as prescription medications, medical equipment, supplies, diagnostics and treatments. Patients will be able to choose a health care provider without worrying about whether that provider is in-network and will be able to get the care they need without having to read any fine print or trying to figure out how they can afford the out-of-pocket costs.

WHAT IT MEANS FOR PATIENTS As a patient, all you need to do is go to the doctor and show your insurance card. Bernie’s plan means no more copays, no more deductibles and no more fighting with insurance companies when they fail to pay for charges.

GETTING HEALTH CARE SPENDING UNDER CONTROL We outspend all other countries on the planet and our medical spending continues to grow faster than the rate of inflation. Creating a single, public insurance system will go a long way towards getting health care spending under control. The United States has thousands of different health insurance plans, all of which set different reimbursement rates across different networks for providers and procedures resulting in high administrative costs. Two patients with the same condition may get very different care depending on where they live, the health insurance they have and what their insurance covers. A patient may pay different amounts for the same prescription depending solely on where the prescription is filled. Health care providers and patients must navigate this complex and bewildering system wasting precious time and resources. By moving to an integrated system, the government will finally have the ability to stand up to drug companies and negotiate fair prices for the American people collectively. It will also ensure the federal government can track access to various providers and make smart investments to avoid provider shortages and ensure communities can access the providers they need.

Better coverage, but without a means of getting to better coverage.  This Plan seems to be feel good statements about things like the disparity in care for people etc, but I don't see exactly where he is going to get health care spending under control. In particular he makes no mention of regulatory action on private hospital costs and the lack of cost controls in the sale of pharmaceuticals. He claims that American's will save money, but of course without serious regulatory actions there will be no cost savings in the Sanders plan. 1. Because there will be no Sanders Plan without a detailed policy. 2. He has no regulatory plan, where is it? What the hell? 

Questions must be asked of his plan, while tax reforms are imperative, how does he get there? How does he get congress there? Aren't these important questions that he should be prepared to answer? Because if you can't realistically get there and he and congress together dismantle the progress we have currently made, not only do we go backward but we never gain again, because there are no real reforms proposed in his document. 

The conclusion we come to here is that Sanders has no plan, but he does have a feel good message about things that should be, which makes his entire non-plan a scam, and all those people who have gained access to basic care, not only lose that access, they never get it back again.  How is that a plan?
