Mr. Sanders’ program would cost $3.2 trillion per year. Thus, a drastic cut to military spending would yield only 11% of the amount of money needed to fund his Medicare for All program.

You shouldn’t rely on your “superior math” to make your case against M4A when it completely ignores the fact that our current system will cost $4–4.5 Trillion. No matter how you parse it, less is still less. One can disagree with how Bernie goes about paying for that cost, but not the basic math that one is expected to master prior to leaving grade school.

You also fail to acknowledge that Bernie’s proposed system only changes how we “pay for” healthcare, not how it is administered or practiced: or that his proposals include “ALL” citizens and “ALL” healthcare needs, many of which, such as dental and vision, are currently simply ignored. Getting more for less has always been the pitch for American style capitalism, but in the case of healthcare it would appear to offer less for more and it doesn’t take a “stable genius” to see it.
