Bernie Sanders reignited Democrats’ feud over health care coverage today by criticizing the $3 trillion coronavirus relief bill as a “massive giveaway” to the health industry and proposing a pandemic-specific version of 'Medicare for All'

for “handing more money to private insurance companies who put profit over people’s actual health.” Data for Progress conducted a poll for Sanders, shared first with POLITICO, showing his Medicare expansion bill garnering far more support than Pelosi’s COBRA model.

The Alliance to Fight for Health Care — a coalition of major hospital and insurance companies, unions and consumer advocacy groups — is among the prominent groups lobbying Congress to sustain workplace health coverage.

Health care coverage is not supposed to be in the stimulus package. Help for cash strapped and hungry people who can't buy groceries or pay for housing is the concern right now. Get off the health care kick for awhile. Let it rest, Sanders.

mutalabala Now I understand why he missed being the deciding vote that could have reigned in warrantless surveillance several days ago. He was practicing his workers of the world unite rave.

This money going to hospitals is an incentive for them to put deaths down as covid-related; even when they weren't. This is why we have so many deaths attributed to covid. It's a rip off.

A nail? Use a hammer. A screw? Use a hammer. A piece of tape? Use a hammer. Rarely is one solution right for every problem. Usually it suggests that someone is a hammer salesman.

Yet he missed the vote to protect our internet search history. So feckless and ineffective when it counts.

Millions just lost job, income & employment based coverage. If D party is for The People it addresses that problem so these millions get coverage they need and nobody loses job, income & coverage in the future. M4A

The bill is horrendous on all fronts and won’t pass the Senate, where more common sense resides.

who?

There should be public healthcare with a private option. The beginnings of public care would be all infectious disease covered.

This. FUCKING. guy.

He’s right.

So Bernie would rather have nothing at all? I'm so tired of his purity tests.

Bernie is so one note

Oh my! Is Bernie back in the game? 👏🏼

Of course he did. Bernie Sanders doesn't know the meaning of the word 'teamwork'.

Does it matter when WH says bill is DOA with planned veto.

This is a joke. U.S has handled this whole Pandemic very poorly.

He’s not a democrat he’s an independent socialist
