Bernie Sanders: What we have right now in the bill is language, unfortunately it doesn’t kick until 2017, that would give states a great deal of flexibility to go forward in variety of ways. Including my preferred method, would be a Medicare for all single payer way…

I hope very much that we will give states more flexibility, so that they can go forward for a Medicare for all single-payer bill.

Nope…no hidden agenda in the health care bill. Nothing that would lead to a government takeover of healthcare. The goal isn’t a single-payer system where the government takes the place of private insurance companies. That’s just crazy talk.
