Sanders to Trump: You lose support every time you talk about healthcare - so 'go for it'

  • When the Supreme Court overturned the Chevron Doctrine in late June, it upended 40 years of precedent that had deferred judgment to federal agencies when laws are unclear. The ripple effects of that decision are beginning to be felt-- this week, the Carroll Independent School District in Texas rejected an order from the Department of Education to develop a plan addressing civil rights violations affecting some of its students. The district cites the recent Supreme Court decision as a basis for challenging the DOE's authority. The Carroll school district is “completely controlled by far-right conservatives” who believe “the Education Department doesn’t have the authority to interpret foundational civil rights laws,” says Mike Hixenbaugh, senior NBC reporter.

    I’m a Senior Citizen. I can’t afford glasses or dental work. I’m widowed and live on Social Security. Due to the long illness and early death oh my husband followed by a two year Cancer Battle for myself, our modest savings were emptied due to co pays and insurance not covering injections at $80 per day for my husband and then me.
    Project 2025 will eliminate SS and Medicare. I hope every Senior Citizen in the country is paying attention to this! it is real, folks who do not read please listen up.

    Canadian here. Our healthcare system isn’t perfect and definitely has its issues, especially right now as many Canadians face family doctor shortages and years long waits for surgery. But I thank my lucky stars every day that I’m here because I know of a medical emergency comes up for me or my loved ones that we don’t have to vote between treatment or horrible debt that we may never recover from. I myself had cancer and I owed nothing for my treatment. I was able to recover with peace of mind and security. Every American deserves that. The fact that anyone could consider that radical or wrong in some way is tragic.

I am 46 and haven't been able to get a job for almost a year, and am applying in industries I have worked in over a decade, you have to close those loopholes.

They believe everything these networks feed them because it's what they have been CONDITIONED to hear. The Democrats want Free Universal Health Care.

      @@Micheleseeker yeah it really is simple. What I would like people in the US to realise is that they are really deprived of their freedom because the system effectively remove choices from them. When you can’t afford to go university, when you have been raised in a difficult environment which effectively means your school district is less funded, then you have less chances to get a scholarship. You have higher risks to end up in jail, higher risk of not being able to cover medical bills, and if you do want to make ends meet, then you need to get 2 or 3 jobs. This isn’t freedom. It’s freedom maybe if you are well born but not otherwise. Freedom is being able to go to school and receive the same education, regardless of your background. Freedom is choosing to go to university or not. Freedom is coming home without wondering what would happen if you get sick. I live in France, England, Italy, Sweden, Denmark and now Switzerland. Let me tell you: when I live in Denmark, I paid about 40% tax. But I was covered left right and center. My mind was free to think about so many things, but never about life difficulties. I would go to work, and go to school to learn danish because it’s free. I was able to afford holidays easily because you earn well enough money. I got a flat which was partly financed by the state, because you can ask for it. It’s the same for everyone. I worked 37 hours a week because it is the law. I had 5 weeks paid holiday because it’s the law. This is freedom. Not working 80 hours a week with one week off if you re lucky.

      @@jkhuckaby1985there's already free lunch care plan that spin across the USA long before I ever got here. No one else knows who's getting the free lunch or not because it's done with a barcode on a little plastic card like a debit card size. Parents who can't afford will put money into the kids food account. The ones that cannot afford fill out an online application and they receive free lunches. They use the same card that's identical and appearance to others. No one knows who is receiving the free lunch compared to money coming off the card from the parents. There's already free lunches in place. You're not going to see some kids sitting at a lunch table with no lunch. The method I mentioned above doesn't display which kid is getting a free lunch or not getting a free lunch. This is not some novel idea. It's been happening for a long time before I was here. It's important not to depend on government unless people are like disabled or seniors etc. That's why there are programs set in place already. There's no reason to tax everyone for something they're never going to use or rather yet something they choose not to use. A lot of kids take their lunch to school with them. So does that mean they get a rebate since they didn't use the free lunch program? Just keep everything really simple and help the people that need help and the ones that don't need free lunches don't need to get taxes raised when they probably won't even have kids that use the free lunch. What about people who don't even have children in their life? Does that seem fair to pay for something unless it's mandatory at 50% of the income? How about everyone, including low income people receiving help from different programs also pay 50% mandatory before they receive anything from the government social programs? I don't think too many people would agree with that either way. Just keep it the way it is which means free lunches for people who need them. If someone wants to have extra money taken out of their income at a higher percentage through taxation, let them choose. If they want to take advantage of certain programs then they get taxed at a certain percentage. If they don't take advantage of those programs then they don't get taxed at that level. The reason this would never work is because you would have people making more money that are paying higher tax for something which they don't need or use. Not everyone goes to college so let the people who are the creative geniuses become creative entrepreneurs. The majority of the wealthiest people in the world came from very little and didn't graduate people Bill Gates, Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs and the other Steve that helped found Apple in the list goes on. Just be grateful if you're receiving help from the government because in the majority of countries across the world and individual would not receive assistance from the government for things Americans just take for granted like food stamps or housing etc.. I'm from Venezuela and I'm a legal refugee of 23. I'm female and a student. I know when I got a loan for school that I am going to be responsible and plan to pay it back. Please don't try to change the way this government works just because whatever the reason may be. You wouldn't want to live in Venezuela folks. This is extremely serious and I'm giving Americans warnings that you don't want what you think looks good and shiny. All kids don't need school meals for free because many of them aren't considered low income family.

      @@nancychandler3673 what's wrong with just trying to be a country that can choose rather than be forced to pay a certain percentage? The idea should be optional. No one should be forced and if they don't pay the percentage then they don't receive those benefits. They pay out of their own pocket if they don't agree to paying 50% of their income. There are many social programs within USA that do give health care, food stamps, rental assistance and even money every month when there's a need. There are churches and other spiritual centers that donate food and clothing free of course. They aren't free because they receive donations and they receive money to keep the lights on. This is USA and most Americans just do not want the government telling them their mandated to do something with 50% of the money they made working. It should be optional. Unfortunately, that won't work because most people will choose the option to not pay 50% and rather have the money in their pocket for emergency situations when the country potentially is in a serious state of recession/depression. Right now our country is spinning so much money every year that all the taxes paid are only paying the interest on what we borrow from other countries. I hope you guys do understand that we owe so much money to other countries that if they asked us to pay today, it couldn't be done. If they decided to cut us off today, we would just be cut off. We owe a lot of money to other countries and right now taxes are paying for interest only. It's not been like that until we've started to spend a lot more money in the last couple years to other countries and our own. You can't depend on government unless you have no option. Just give Americans options if they want to be taxed 50 or 60% and use programs from government. Never should it be mandatory. It's not a lack of compassion but it's actually like a parent teaching a child how to be prepared to take care of himself one day and if they can't the parent is always there to help them if need be. That is the analogy between government and citizens or people who live here. Trust me guys when I tell you that you don't want a country that will be like Venezuela. Ask anyone, like me, that came from that country. Why do you believe people are flocking out of the country? They're leaving Venezuela because the funds have been burnt. It just isn't something Americans would be happy with and especially since Americans did fight to get away from a system that tells them what to do in taxes them at bizarre rates.

    Like many of the real nice folks in Minnesota I am a Scandinavian-American. So I don't see the relationship between Socialism and Capitalism as an either/or choice. I see it as an and/also option. The reason why Scandinavia has such a great economy and why their populations’ rate happiest in the sociological datum. Is because their Socialism compliments their Capitalism and their Capitalism supports their Socialism. American's should stop thinking of these two economic options as an either/or choice. When they could also be a very effective and/also option. Which could benefit the entire society. Leading to increased happiness in the sociological datum. And even a decrease in American anger and resentment. For if the government were more responsive to the needs of the people the people might be less antagonistic toward each other.💙

      Finnish ancestry here.... I agree with you. Too many in the U.S. don't regard the U.S. for what it is. We are a mixed economy where businesses and households contribute into our system, and they both get things back from it (labor, sales, wages, spending, resources, services) It's not Capitalism or Socialism. What it needs to be is a well-balanced system that works for all - or, specifically, the circular flow in a mixed economy. You are correct. If we functioned as we should, the government's role would solely be to be responsive to the needs of the people - all people. Period.

    I'm retired and live in the poorest country in the EU. My pension is less than the minimum wage mentioned (around $12k per year). I pay $20 per MONTH as my social security contribution which entitles me to free or nearly-free public healthcare. Here, PRIVATE hospitals are also affiliated with the public health fund and receive public reimbursement, but with a higher co-pay. My typical co-pays in my nearest private hospital (very nice place) include $2 for a GP consultation, and $2 for an X-ray. The co-pay for a major op (e.g. knee or hip replacement) might be close to $0 in a public hospital, or perhaps $500-$1,000 in a private hospital. Even outside of the public system (i.e. full private fee), I'm simply amazed at what I paid in the last couple of years: full blood panel including cholesterol panel, hormone levels and cancer markers for $75, consultation with orthopedic surgeon for $75, consultation (and full physical including echocardiogram and EKG) with a cardiologist ($100). I've also had CT scans ($50) and MRIs ($200) pretty much on-demand (typically within an hour or two of asking for it). My dentist is similarly awesome at around $75 for my twice-a-year check-up/clean.

    I support Bernie's ideas about Medicare and Social Security. I believed our health care costs would be covered when I was paying into Medicare. However the elderly cannot afford the deductible and copays when they use medical services. This leads them to avoid getting the care they need. For those who can afford it, they have to pay for Medicare supplement insurances plus what they are charged for Medicare itself, in order to be reasonably covered for health care, It is also important to note that the federal government and some states tax Social security income. It seems wrong that we pay into Social Security during our working years and are then taxed for collecting those benefits later in life. We will all be elderly at some point and we should have the benefits to help us live reasonably well.
