Sanders: 'Thousands of people will literally die' if Trump 'gets his way' on health care
2019-04-01
[PRESSTV] US Senator Bernie Sanders
...The only openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated by Hillary, then went back to being a socialist...
, who has announced he is running for president again in the 2020 elections, has said that "thousands of people will literally die" if President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
can successfully dismantle the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare
... aka the Affordable Care Act, an ineptly designed and worse executed piece of legislation designed to bring 17 percent of the U.S. economy under the direct control of the government. The previous iteration, known as Hillarycare, was laughed out of Washington. This stinker was passed on a party-line vote without being read...
"If Trump gets his way, the cost of health insurance ... will be so high that many people literally will not be able to afford it. Thousands of people will literally die. That’s Trump’s health insurance plan," Sanders said during an interview with CBS News on Sunday.

"My plan is just a little bit different. I think we should join the result of the industrialized world, guarantee health care to all people as a right," Sanders added.

Sanders, an Independent senator from Vermont who is seeking the Democratic nomination for president in 2020, said that he plans to introduce his Medicare for All plan "within the next couple of weeks."

"When we do that, what we understand is that it is just not acceptable that 30 million Americans have no health insurance and even more are underinsured with high deductibles and high co-payments," he added.

#13  Does anyone ever wonder if "the Population Bomb" nonsense was an intentional lie to lower birthrates in the west and thus allow for us to be replaced...

I don't think the left is that organized or far thinking but it gives me shivers to think what if they are.

#12  Well, should Bernie need urgent medical care, I'm sure he will be willing to go to a facility that accepts medicare and he'll gladly wait his turn...

Smash the HIPAA barriers to treatment transparency and reveal the malpractice horror. Stop the self-governing AMA.

#8  I strongly suspect thousands of people are going to die regardless of who runs healthcare. That's what we do.

#7  #6 Far worse than reading that drivel, I was bludgeoned by it for an entire semester in a required course "the Limits to Growth'. Imbecility cubed to even a casual observer, but the professoriate bought it hook, line and sinker.

#6  I died back in the 80's during the population explosion, food riots, famine and resource depletion. Apparently, none of you slackers read The Population Bomb or the Club of Rome report or you'd be dead too.

#5  Mostly correct, Bernie. Since Obama and Pelosi got their way, the cost of health insurance ... will be so high that many people literally will not be able to afford it.

#3  They have claimed so many people would die if their ideas weren't legislated that we should all be dead now.

#2  Ah, hundreds of thousands die every year due to mistakes made in hospitals. Thousands would be a drop in the statistics.
