    • God bless america america love it or leave it fascist alert. We should give them something they can’t hide so we know who the fascists are when it’s their time to pay for their sins

    • +Abolish the liberals america love it or leave it “Triple taxes”, it is 11% and you get everyone covered, with better outcomes, and no bankruptsy. You brain dead, bain washed moron. Stop watching Fox news and all the youtube videos that only support your ignorance with anecdotal evidence.

    • +Francis James Gillies How much money does Medicare cost per person per year and how many people in America will use it?

    • DEL J you have to other things as well. Like get big money off of government. Term limits and strict guidelines. If they want to keep their jobs and not be punished they have to keep the population happy. Right now corporations and politicians aren’t accountable to anyone because they don’t mind if they lose their jobs. They can work for the industry they are suppose to regulate. Amerikans also have to grow a pair and revolt when the state does something fucked. Right now we are behind almost every other advanced country in the world and guess what? They are more socialistic than we are

    • +Dan Underwood Taking money out of government is an impossible task. Term limits do the exact opposite of what you want them to do, because they don’t have to keep their constituents happy since they know it’s a temporary position regardless. Americans are comfortable, therefore they won’t revolt. It’s called revealed preference, they aren’t as miserable as they claim.

      Also, you’re misunderstanding why the US is behind. Two major reasons that the US is behind is because we incentive poor, low IQ people to outbreed higher earners. That’s a FACT. If you drop the lowest portion of the US population, we are fucking killing it. The lowest portion of the US population are provably dumb, fat, lazy people that are literally given money by the government to have children, so they do. No one in the US is getting more poor, it’s a statistical misunderstanding, what’s happening is that the dumbest, laziest among us are having kids at much faster rates than the rest of us. The other reason is that the US overspends on military. It’s addicted to military spending, which is bad for our economy since it’s not a productive sector, but it’s also welfare for Europe. Most European countries don’t feel compelled to spend as much as they would on military if the US wasn’t essentially doing it for them. The US military is basically subsidizing European security, so they don’t feel like they need to spend as much.

      Even though they aren’t spending as much on military, they are STILL insolvent. Their policies are slowly bankrupting them, even though they aren’t stupidly throwing money at their own militaries.

      Finally, it should be mentioned that their “socialist” economies aren’t nearly as toxic to the market as the US economy. In European countries, the laws are at least intended to help poorer people (which they actually harm over time), meanwhile in the US, it’s not even modeled as helping poorer people, it’s all about envy. They hate successful people and want to punish them more than they want to help poor people. It’s clear if you look at the language and effects of legislation, and at the way that Bernie fans demonize businesses. The very Scandinavian countries that Bernie likes to talk about are far, far friendlier to businesses than American Progressives.

    • DEL J it’s not an impossible task if you pay attention and vote for the right people. 99% of the problems we face in this country stem from big money in politics. It starts with overturning citizens united decision. Guess who brought that up first? Yep Bernie. But you can keep thinking that plutocrats and laissez-fair capitalism are going to make this country better. History proves the opposite. They and their ideals make it worse.

    • DEL J no not that at all. We are 37th in healthcare and education. We are ranked at the top in poverty and infant death mortality. We are at the top in cancer rates and diabetes and obesity. We are top in incarceration rates and murder by cops. These are all products of a failed capitalist system run by plutocrats. For the rich by the rich

    • there are 2 kinds of people: people who think health care is a right, and people who think that the rich should be able to profit off the suffering of other human beings.

    • Gotta say, the one thing Bernie could do to _supercharge_ his MFA campaign is hammer home—and endlessly repeat—the essential fact that the *economic role* of health insurance companies is identical to that of *THE MAFIA* i.e., they are _middle-men_ who insert themselves into a vital industry in order to enrich themselves at the expense of others. They are not “experts” in the provision of health care services; they simply hire experts to take care of that aspect of their racket. The government could/would do precisely the same thing, only without skimming off their own cut.

      Insurance company owners are *_finance people_* like bankers, whose only job is to decide what to do with the millions they are skimming off of health care customers. How much of those revenues they need to pay out claims, how much to spend on PR advertising, how much they need to throw at lawmakers to buy their support, and of course how much to lavish on themselves. This is the only economic “contribution” they make to the production and consumption of health care services. They are in fact parasitic leeches…

    • +Harry Mann Jr it lowers taxes, people will lose jobs. You compensate for that by lowering taxes or increasing Fed Govt spending. Also Taxes don’t pay for federal spending.

    • +gxbmb nice try. why don’t you take your blinders off and look around at the reality of our health insurance industry as it is, vs. the potential benefits and gains of embracing a new system. . . . guaranteed that if you look behind the curtain of wherever you got your current ideas about M4A, you’d find stacks of insurance corporation $ flowing into the media outlets that spoon feed you that bullshit. we can do better than this.

    • +Kiz Epic Journey Yeah big government is totally not wasting tax dollars and overtaxing low income households or anything LOL what does the gov run well, not social security obviously since it’s going bankrupt same with medicare and all the illegals that take advantage of it. The VA, whoops. You think it’s better to dissolve all health care companies and their employees and let the government take charge of all 330 million of us plus the 75,000 a month illegal immigrants?

    • +dianne Thanks. Really, it was the background music on this video. It’s very inspiring. I wonder what track it is. Gave me goosebumps at the very end 1:53

    • +rahul1353 You’re welcome! I wish the music would inspire me to be as articulate ! Again Bravo! Maybe they would have that info about the song on Bernies website, Good luck. PEACE !

    • Name:
      It absolutely will be a right if a majority of the people want that right and through their representatives in congress, it will be inserted in the bill of rights as an amendment.

    • +Kristine Danielsen,
      Right on!
      Don’t forget small, re-occurring, payments. Campaigns can better plan when they can count on income.

    • *Come* *On* *PEOPLE!*
      We Can Do This! 27 bucks
      There are over 300 million of Us American citizens. Even if only 5 % of us pitched in 27 bucks each, that would be over $400,000,000.00 (four hundred million dollars) for Bernie to wage a WINNING campaign against the greedy Republicans and the corrupt Corporate DNC and take back the White House so that OUR representatives can fight for WE THE PEOPLE!
      If you are rich, donate $100 or more; if you are Middle Class, donate $27 or more; if you are poor, donate $10. If you can’t donate 10, then volunteer with Bernie’s campaign and SPREAD THE WORD!

      COME ON PEOPLE! THERE IS A REAL POLITICAL REVOLUTION STARTING NOW!

      *GET* *IT* *ON!*

    • +Sandy,
      Of course they can, but the less you make people search [to donate], the more likely they will do it.
      If it is even one-click away, you will lose someone.

  3. Yes Medicare for all will cost hundreds of billions of tax payers dollars a year. And yes, that’s a HUGE SAVINGS over our current system, AND we ALL will be covered!!!
    No more going bankrupt over medical bills!
    No more pre-existing conditions!
    No more denial of life saving procedures!
    No more profits over people!!
    No more billion dollar health insurance companies sucking up all our money!!! We literally will be saving BILLIONS just from getting rid of them!
    CUT OUT THE MIDDLE MAN!!!!!!

    • Anything with a middle man is just a colossal waste of money. And the government is a non profit. Corporations can’t compete with that.

    • +sXehero137 It is sad that all my healthcare dollars does not all go to my or family’s Healthcare some of that money goes to
      politicians and special interest to vote against my children and I. NO one talks about that.

  4. Trump just left millions of people. With out Medicare. Because he hate Obama care. We need Bernie. He is the Future.

  5. The media. Gop and Democrats need stop playing political games with people’s lives. We need Bernie. He is the Future

  6. This video makes clear, the reason corporate media and Limousine Democrats kicked Bernie to the Curb last time. Join Bernie 2020

    • +Chuck Otto And? So what? I’m more than happy to contribute to science and progress with my tax money. It is far better than funding endless war and unnecessary corporate bailouts, like you want.

    • +Chuck Otto Alright, dude. Whatever you say. I’m going to continue to support Bernie Sanders, and you will continue to live in ignorance. May the American people trample over you on the way forward.
