It's been a while since I read through some of the papers and not sure if you were genuinely curious lol, but looks like they put links to all the various plans on one landing page which I hadn't seen yet..

Most studies aren't supporting this, more like at least 15%-20%
You could check out #94 if you're actually interested in this, I listed the estimate tax rates I've seen so far and links to the studies

There's a significant differences between Medicare and Bernie's plan, tho.. they're not interchangeable at all. For starters, Medicare is a mixed-payer system (v. Bernie's proposal of single-payer), beneficiaries still pay co-pays etc and he is proposing way more benefits (eg. dental, vision, etc) that aren't currently offered as part of Medicare (beneficiaries usually have to sign up for private supplementary plans for such coverage).
