"Soon after the Tax Policy Center released its analysis of Bernie Sanders’ tax and healthcare plans last week, the negative headlines began to pile up about the Vermont lawmaker’s push to extend Medicare coverage to all Americans. Though a new Gallup poll shows Sanders’ plan is widely popular, news outlets across the country pounced on one of the findings, which said the plan would increase the U.S. budget deficit by some $18 trillion between 2017 and 2026. One paper, the Washington Post, posted four critical Sanders stories in just seven hours.
Left unsaid in the headlines and stories that condemned Sanders’ healthcare proposal is that the Brookings Institution and Urban Institute, the two major organizations behind the Tax Policy Center, have received big contributions from the health insurance and pharmaceutical industries — industries whose profits could be reduced by Sanders’ single-payer Medicare-for-all plan. That is on top of money the groups have received from Wall Street firms , fossil fuel companies, efforts connected to the billionaire Charles Koch, a foundation founded by the heirs to the Walmart fortune and others that Sanders has criticized."
