After last week’s defeat of an amendment that would have allowed the importation of cheaper prescription drugs from Canada, Bernie Sanders has decided to put forth legislation that will finally allow Medicare and the government to negotiate drug prices for Medicare recipients. While not as far-reaching as last week’s amendment, it is a great start for needy Americans. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this. Subscribe to Ring of Fire:
Bernie Sanders Launches Bill To Negotiate Pharma Prices For Medicare
Within 30 seconds this comment section will be filled with degenerates that dedicate large portions of their lives to trolling this channel. Snowflakes. Cucks. “Alt-right” aka alt-smart. Rainbow-Reich
+Commenting From Jail Are you bored? Do you have nothing else to do? Go outside. Go play a board game. Stop wasting your time.
Bernie is a sellout AND a Jew. Do not trust him
I am coding in C, and every time I finish an exercise and find a solution, I reward myself with a comment to help everybody in America great again, whether you are blue or red.
+Mama Mimi did you just assume I’m gender neutral? *Triggered*
Bernie Sanders’ first executive action would have been something like this. Trumps for action is to strip insurance for 10 million Americans. Great call America!
What about the 7 million dollar healthcare tax cut for the richest families. That’s 800 thousand people losing healthcare to help those poor billionaires escape their social responsibility
If you right wingers hate liberals so much why are you watching this channel, go back to Alex Jones and your lizard people.
SAD

Yes, that’s why he’s fighting for us now: because he doesn’t fight for us.
Were your parents very closely related? Is that your problem?
Cliven Longsight libtards rioting in the streets and making false claims. I have a lot of problems with TYT and their hypocritical viewers.
If you snowflakes weren’t so easily triggered, no trolls would be here.
+Liberal-in-Trumpland Too much free time. They swarm here literally within minutes of every video regardless of the time or day. If they jobs those jobs are being half assed so that they can flood the comment section with their childish comments and bad grammar. These are the same types that claim to not the have time to read a book or maintain an exercise routine. The sensible people would be wise to ignore them. Let the Trump morons and SJW fight it out among themselves . They are two sides of the same coin.
there’s a big difference between capitalism and legalized extortion, but when pharmaceutical companies can take a synthetic pill that cost them less than $2 to manufacture and sell it at a $100 a pill or more knowing full well that most of America cannot afford it without some kind of supplemental Aid…. Then that is the epitome of extortion and greed!
+Phil TY!
Republicans will now insult you since they cant refute your argument.
+Kevin Montrond of course they will, because the brainwashing runs deep. Lol
CVS came out with a competitor to the Epi-Pen with ZERO government intervention. But you won’t hear about that, because people don’t like to admit the free market can solve most economic problems itself.
What can people do to help push this legislation?
So what congressman do i bark at? Does each state have their own??
My Advise would be not to get any information from TYT subscribers cause they are all apart of a race baiting divide and conquer agenda .
Skee Lazt yes each state has 2 senators. I am not sure which state you are under but certain comments on this page list the senators who voted against the bill and their phone number. I live in new York and my senator voted for it last time but I am still gonna call in case they try something sneaky.
+blackearl7891 thank you
+Skee Lazt no problem
My Multiple Sclerosis medicine is $6,000 per month. Thanks to Medicare I only need pay a small co-pay. What happens to me when Trump kills Medicare? He kills me too?
+Dan Extrinsic01
You’re just mad because I don’t rely on other people to pay for my stuff.
Move to Scotland mate. Everything medical is free even ibuprofen.
+Trump Derangement Syndrome hope you get cancer fucker. maybe then youll be nice and docile about the topic of fighting for the right thing.
Wow!America is such a crappy country, if you arent rich that is
I wonder why the majority of immigration into the US is from the third world? See if you can figure out why that is.
Because they bought the hype behind that dream that everyone is talking about…
Dont under estimate the power of Hollywood, it is a powerful pr machine
I’d go a step further. Vote both Corp privatizing DEMs and GOPs out based on past votes that screwed the people. How do they keep getting re elected? I’ve been trying to vote them out since the 90s. Bernie is on fire! He sets the bar on political activism.
Vote the corporate democrats out in primaries, because the reason so many of them is still around is because of gerrymandering.
They keep getting re-elected because selling out helps fund their next campaign.
So it starts with Citizens United. I’ve got a feeling Sanders is going to get to campaign finance reform in due time. He’s setting the stage for voting records we can refer to in 2018/20.
Can’t you guys drop the whole Bernie thing? You know he’s not gonna run in 4 years, he’s way too old.
He’s not much older than Trump, who will be running for reelection (presumably) in 2020. Plus, electing a president is much more than the president himself, this should be PAINFULLY obvious in light of all the recent headlines about DeVos/Tillerson/Mnuchin etc (“the swamp”). He also nominates people to his administration, appoints SCJs, will have a vice president whom he trusts to carry on his policies. It’s not like if Bernie dies in office there will be a mad grab for power, Game of Thrones-style, to determine who the next president is.
+Trump Derangement Syndrom Eh, Democrats and Republicans are two sides of the same coin. One kisses up to the pharmaceutical company and the other to the Oil company.
The two of them might be completely different but both of them have the same weakness of greed.
General Zod Have you seen Bernie? He looks like he’s gonna croak any day now.
+King LilWigglyWabbit I’ve seen Bernie
A LOT
not on TV, or posters
but in the room with him, and I’ll bet he can out run you
The democrats better back Bernie!
Haven’t you realised it yet? The majority of democrats are in the pocket of donors.
Trump and Sanders are on the same page when it comes to negotiating lower drug prices. Even if some Dems attempt to undermine Bernie, I believe Donald Trump is willing to lay the hammer down on any Republican members of Congress who attempt to vote against Bernie’s bill. Trump will flank Congress from the right and Sanders will flank from the left. Get ‘er done!
TO ALL YOU IDIOTS WHO VOTED FOR HILLARY IN THE PRIMARIES…
THANKS A LOT MORONS!!!
+Stephen Mystery nope
you’re wrong
+Stephen Mystery
The DNC and corporate media did everything they could to get Sanders out. He caught up a 60% lead with 0 name recognition, fighting an uphill struggle against the powers that be.
I’m not sure you can say Clinton won by anything other than name recognition. I’m definitely not sure you can say the people have spoken, since Clinton and Trump are the least popular candidates to ever run for president in US history. Voting turnout was low, and now a one man clown parade is in the White House.
+Smaakjeks K nailed it
Smaakjeks K Polls lol
+King LilWigglyWabbit
Great rebuttal.
Bernie Sanders: not even president and still doing better things for America than loser donald.
+orderoutofchaos
How about *not* putting incompetent cronies in positions of power?
Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump are actually in agreement on this issue.
+McQueenPress
Who knows what Trump thinks? He changes his mind 4 times a day.
Yeah I like how Bernie just killed TPP oh wait…
+King LilWigglyWabbit
Is there anything Trump can do that you would not approve of?
This is great, right now bernie is basically just DESTROYING the presidential hopes of all these corporate big pharma bought democrats. If he keeps this up for the next 4 years, even the democratic party won’t have it’s head in the sand enough to put forward the democrats who, highly publicly, vote down cheaper healthcare for 4 years.
Bernie’s greatest achievement before he dies will be reforming the democrats.
i cant stand this ring of fire stuff. seriously separate the two.
+pcmacro just don’t watch it, it says Ring of Fire on the thumbnail. Easily avoidable.
no it doesn’t
+pcmacro yes it does, sweetheart, look in the bottom left corner. If you search hard enough, you’ll be able to find it. ☺
hmm -_-….no
Bernie is setting up these policy traps so perfect. Either you’re with us, or you’re against us. Simple.
yup, no in-between. Go Bernie!
who’s the 87 bastards that disliked this video
stealthassulter the same people that dislike all tyt videos. brainwashed butt hurt conservatives and alex jones fan boys.
The typical TYT trolls.
Im number 97.
Are you either A) a butthurt conservative, B) an alex jones fan, or C) a hillbot?
I just had an idea of how to make C-Span more interesting:
Just put floating captions above all the politicians heads listing the dollar values they have received and from whom.
peter … I want NASCAR style stickers personally.
In the UK we pay no more than £8.20p per perscription (no matter how many items), but that is not the cost of the medication it is an administration charge, if you are over 60, are on benefits or have a specific long term illness you get an excemption. In 1948 the Labour Party introduced the NHS or National Health Service. The man that drove this through, against bitter oposition from doctors/ nurses/ hospitals/ insurance services etc., was the Welsh Minister for Health Aneurin Bevan. He resigned when the administration charge was introduced years later. The men that created the NHS were zealots in the field of public health, they smashed any opposition. They weren’t so much politicians as “Religious Disciples” and “Philanthrepists” most of them were brought up in our non-conformist churches in poor working class areas. They were Methodists, Quakers, Baptists and in most cases NOT members of the Church of England. These people BELIEVED! They were very sucessful, Churchmen, Councelors, MP’s, Union Leaders and Members of the House of Lords. It’s all the more sad that our current lot of leaders want to throw all this out and privatise it in very small increments and get a system like you lot have in the US for their Corporate friends. OVER THE BRITISH PUBLIC’S DEAD AND ROTTING CORPSES WE HAVE KILLED KINGS FOR LESS! ;op
Neil Price
Yeah but the UK is not a developing country like the US.
Neil Price get your knives ready because after Brexit you won’t have the European Union or the European Courts to help you defend against privatisation of your health care system.
On the other hand, 12 Republican Senators, including Ted Cruz, voted for Bernie’s amendment.
And 33 Republican senators voted against it.
Your point?
bobby that’s true. As much as it pains me to say it some Republicans did the right thing and some Democrats bowed to their corporate donors.
+ruirodtube
And it pains me to say that some Democrats do the right thing. But maybe, just maybe, we will see more of it. We can only hope so, for the sake of our country.
