“Healthcare must be considered as a human right, not a privilege. That means passing Medicare for All legislation now supported by 66 percent of the American people,”

It's like Bernie doesn't understand our government. The one the Founding Fathers set up to not just do what the masses think is a good idea.

Wow. If only they didn’t need the President to sign off on such a bill…


The Dems should give Trump a choice to either sign this Medicare for All Bill into law, OR, we will go after you and your family very aggressively, very unfairly and if we can get away with it - illegally.

The Radical American Left IMHO will have a strong faction that will want to act to inflict extreme punishment on MAGA-types in order to send a message - Do Not Dare Anger Us Ever Again.

If they call it TrumpCare and issue a gaudy gold card with his face on it he may go for it.


You know... that could make it cheaper. Because the left would then refuse to use it.

I’m sure it would only be to the tune of an additional 15% income tax and you would still need private secondary insurance to have any kind of decent care

Good point the supplemental policies would be needed unless you are a commie Senator.

The people that voted for stupidity, are about to win stupid prizes. They voted for cheaper costs, instead will realize they voted in to get more of their paycheck taken away from them. Fuel prices nor grocery prices will be lower. But muh Iran war.

Show your work, Bernie. Be transparent on how you will pay for it, how much such legislation will cost.

Undoubtedly that "66% of people" include the about 50% who pay zero income tax that would help fund that.
Good point.

I remember pre-Obamacare when that wasn't the case. Back before Democrats 'fixed' healthcare the last time.
