+Fluffy Bunny Generally, when someone says, “We can’t afford it,” what they
really mean is that too many rich people will see a decrease in their
incomes.
I agree What Bernie said. Medicare for all it is Human right . Bernie
Sanders is only Candidate which places the people ahead of profits . Bernie
for President 2016.
It’s beyond absurd and pathetic that we are still debating whether or not
Healthcare is a human right in 2015. Canada answered that question nearly
60 years ago.
Fixing pharma prices in 3 steps:
1) Forbid medicine advertisements.
2) Government controlled & sponsored research facilities – take the profit
motive out of finding new treatments.
3) Allow corporations to compete in the manufacturing of meds, so long as
they meet quality standards for safety & effectiveness. (generics.)
I come from Scotland where it’s essentially single-payer, and it’s is
do-able and morally correct for U.S.
Much of the pharmaceutical profits are for aggressive advertising rather
than research. It’s a rip-off as Bernie says.
The problem is info-overload. Many show a wilful blindness about what’s
going on, but i think that’s borne of a Darwinian instinct, and lets face
it, making ends meet is a challenge. Our perspective becomes insular and
relative. John Oliver does a lot in a very good way, using comedy to tell
some complex facts. I think artists of all genres need to step up and get
the message across as people are either too lazy or too fatigued to invest
in what’s really going on. We need people to be inspired by Woody Guthrie
and get commenting and to evoke critical thinking in accessible ways.
Hello from north of the border. I can only say that you guys need to fight
harder for what we have in Canada. I can’t imagine where I would be without
our public healthcare system. Bernie is your only hope. No politician in
Canada would dare try to get rid of public healthcare. The Saskatchewan
premier who first brought in single payer decades ago, Tommy Douglas is a
national hero. He was voted the greatest Canadian of all time a few years
ago in a national poll.
I’m hoping and praying that for your sake that Sanders will be your next
president. You folks down there have suffered enough.
This man disagrees with #Bernie yet makes the case for expanding #Medicare
and using this successful program to make sure healthcare is not a
marketable resource but rather a national asset. Hmm. #SideBern?
This logic can be applied to many facets of so called free market
capitalism. The Free market ideas of Adam smith depend on a whole list of
constituents that no longer exist in today’s market..
There should be FREE healthcare and we do this by nationalization of all
healthcare companies including the whole pharmaceutical industry, hospitals
and clinics. They should be owned by society and run by people who work in
the field!
We end the profiteering of big business on people’s health. Billions are
spend on wasted commercials and other greedy capitalist programs. No
private sector at all!!
So why is that first guy against single payer anyhow?
+TheDajamster, you got it, that’s why Republicans don’t want to save SS and
Medicare.

+Fluffy Bunny He said he doesn’t think single-payer is feasible in America,
not medicare for all.

Vote for Bernie! His proposal is the only possible way to correct the
problems built into the US health care system.
If you haven’t, watch Sicko by Michael Moore

Bernie Sanders
Fox Fiction fucked fools won’t watch more than a minute of this video,
because it would force them to think.
Hillary and Chelsea (Webb Hubble’s daughter) …stop telling lies about
Bernie’s health plan.
