Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont said the U.S. healthcare system should no longer be an embarrassment around the world and that it should guarantee medical coverage as a right for every American.Sunday morning, Sanders reiterated his calls for Medicare-for-all and told host George Stephanopoulos the time is now to remove private insurance from the Medicare system and replace it with a single-payer program.
"We need more changes in our healthcare system, you talk about a public option many people will not be able to afford a public option," Sanders said Sunday. "By the way, Medicare today is the most popular health insurance program in the country. Private health insurance is not particularly popular," Sanders said."The United States must end the international embarrassment of being the only major country on Earth not to guarantee healthcare for all people as a right."
Medicare has 60M people on it today & is rife with billions in fraud and abuse. And it doesn't even cover 100% of fees or prescriptions. That's nearly as large as France and twice as large as Canada. Now multiply today's problematic Medicare program by 5.5 & you've got a mess.
if it's so bad, why are people dying to get it. sanders is a socialist airhead, who wants YOU to buy him another house.
“touts Adding a public option to Obama care” their fixed that for him
Isn’t it interesting that the Left has abandoned Obamacare after selling it 10 years ago as the curall ...The Left are the true Snake Oil Salesmen...
The healthcare system that was reformed 10 years ago under the Obama Admin and a congress that featured Bernie?
If he cares so much why did he endorse corruption and someone who said Medicare for all was not going to happen. Nothing more than a fraud and s sheepdog for the DNC.
Make sure Govt. can pay for his proposal first, then design an equitable program for all. Reminder, deficit is almost 23 TRILLION!
the world thinks your president is more of an embarrassment than health care
Sure free medical for the world. Free colledge for everybody too. Hell why not? Screw americans, let them pay for it.
The ACA was a significant accomplishment that saved lives. The American way is always about improvement - and the idea was to keep improving it. Trashing it is un-American and gets his followers who don’t understand legislation (Bernie likes it that way) way too riled up.
