BERNIE SANDERS would turn quality healthcare into a privilege for the very few.

But you know who would be largely insulated from these major changes? The very wealthy. While the Sanders healthcare plan contains details on what standards medical providers would have to be able to meet to be included in the new government plan, in its current iteration, there is nothing forcing doctors to participate. Many of them would prefer, then, to avoid the mess entirely and cater to rich clients who can pay them directly.

In practice, that means that people who are rich enough would be able to afford to pay for concierge medicine, effectively giving them VIP access to care, which can range from a few thousand dollars a year to $25,000. Heck, a billionaire could outright pay to keep a private physician on call.

It already happened with the introduction of ObamaCare. Our family internist back then converted to concierge service just a year or so after ObamaCare passed. It'll get worse - much, much worse - if Bernie is elected.
