Senator Bernie Sanders is hosting a national town hall to discuss medicare for all on January 23rd at 7pm eastern, don't miss it live here on TYT. RSVP here:
With the introduction of the Medicare for All Act last year, Sen. Bernie Sanders and 137 of his colleagues in Congress began the long struggle to end the international embarrassment of the United States being the only major country not to guarantee health care to all its people. Already, 60 percent of the American people want to expand Medicare to provide health insurance to every one, but many Americans still do not know how a Medicare-for-all, single-payer health care system would work in the United States.
To answer that question and more, Sen. Sanders and leading digital outlets NowThis, ATTN: and The Young Turks are partnering on a groundbreaking Medicare for All Town Hall event January 23 from 7 to 8:30 p.m.
For the first time, leading digital outlets will come together to do what cable channels and network news will not– engage in an in-depth conversation about one of the issues that matter most to Americans, their health care. Streamed live across multiple social media channels, Sen. Sanders and leading health care experts will take questions about Medicare for All from people around the country and discuss how universal health care would change the American system.
Location: Capitol Visitors' Center Congressional Auditorium (CVC-200)
Seating is first-come, first-served. Please arrive early to ensure a seat. No posters or signs will be permitted.

"Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who has become one of the Democratic Party’s leading surrogates on television, is striking out with his own multimedia special — one that will run online, with no major network behind it.
“We expect that we’ll have a larger viewing audience for this live stream than we’d have if we’d run it on, say, CNN,” Sanders said in an interview. “That’s revolutionary. You can have this discussion even if the owners of the big media companies don’t want to have it.”
On the evening of Jan. 23, Sanders will host a 90-minute “national town hall” on proposals for universal Medicare, streamed by the progressive video outlets NowThis, Attn:, and the Young Turks. The idea came to him, he said, after appearing in CNN-hosted debates and forums on health care and taxes — experiences he’d mostly enjoyed — and hit a wall.
“I talked to a very well-known TV journalist, and I said: ‘You know, I think it’d be really great to have a town hall on single payer. You can design it however you want,’ ” said Sanders. “He said, ‘Bernie, that’s a great idea. We’ll run it up the food chain.’ I never heard back.”"

Bernie will save America from trumps cuckoldry in 2020.
If he decides to do a 2020 presidential run, Bernie Sanders should pick Barack Obama as his VP. Then Bernie’d get everyone’s support, including the Democratic establishment, while still being able to fully push for complete progressive policies.
trump voters hate their country, amen brother
Amen

i still cant believe America does not provide basic health care for all its citizens you can not call yourself a first world nation until you do so.
Bernie 2020!
Just the sound of Bernie’s voice is calming.

Take the next step … have all progressive groups organise town meetings where they tap into Bernie’s live meeting. A place and time where the community can sit and listen and discuss Bernie’s points together, moderated by their local progressives team. Cost might be- hire hall, video equipment, speakers, mics, link up software etc, make it a wider discussion
Gosh the basement dwellers got triggered with this video

Bernie! <3
This is Uuuuge!!
I bet internet is going to be REALLY slow when Bernie has that town hall meeting. But I’m sure it’ll just be a glitch, not that anyone would choke down the feed or anything.
Yes Bernie lets go!
I love this. Let’s go TYT!
Bernie needs to go vegan to save his health so he can live to a very old age and continue to work towards saving the planet!! Bernie if you are reading this PLEASE watch the documentary what the health it will help you learn how to eat and check out PCRM physicians committee for responsible medicine unlike the corrupted pharmaceutical/medical industry they promote preventative measures through diet rather than harmful drugs. They have a great food pyramid you can go by and it is backed up by research proven to be the healthiest diet.
