A new report by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget just found that Bernie Sanders' health care plan would be very expensive, with its costs outweighing the savings by trillions. A chart highlights Sanders' unwarranted optimism, compared to what independent analysts say:

The report has been picked up by CNN on February 3rd, 2016: www.kspr.com/...

CNN notes that "The group notes that even liberal economists -- who favor taxing the wealthy more -- think a total income tax rate over 73% could end up reducing income tax receipts because they would discourage working, among other things."

On a side note, is worth noting that the plan won't pass Congress anyway.
