Thanks for always caring about The People, Sen Sanders! The words ‘for profit’ scare me when it comes to medical care and I’m in the group that has Obamacare but still cannot afford copays in an emergency. Our system of healthcare is a failure.
Trump removed the protections and money that was placed in to the plan to help the working poor and working middle class!! Remember when he and the do nothing Republicans said repeal but never did anything to replace anything!!
Bernie Sanders is a National Treasure for turning our eyes on the big money corruption of our government that benefits the wealthiest which then burdens everyone else. He shows how we have the power to make our government work for us by speaking up, organizing and taking action towards getting what we need to thrive.
If education was a right and not a profit scheme, our country wouldn’t be suffering from a lack of educated professionals. We need to invest in education for all citizens at any time in their lives. It would assist with career pivots, keeping current in such changing tech.
Too bad most of citizens are against affordable education. When student loan payments resume and our young people are going to wise up a skip college, we will have less professionals and will be forced to get them from other countries.
US firms benefit from legal immigration and they hire all the talent they need without having to tolerate an educated US working class. It's their decision to have this arrangement.
It would also set a goal post for other countries as well. Not every country needs to be like the U.S. but they can mix in policies with their own model to develop their nations. Bernie in 2016 and 2020 had a global ripple effect.
The reason healthcare is so expensive is you have to buy your healthcare at the company store where you get locked into the system and they can charge whatever they want and offer substandard service with huge deductibles. This is why we need to go to a pure competitive free market system where people can walk away and go someplace else if they don't like the prices or services. Democrats put on wage and price controls in WW2. Which forced companies to offer healthcare to draw in workers. Then Obama in his infinite incompetence codified into law buying your healthcare at the company store. And Bernie voted for Obama's unaffordable care act. Bernie has been part of the problem with healthcare. He can't and won't be part of the solution.

So very true right here in my hometown! If you get sick after 3pm or on Fridays when your PCP uses that as part of their 3 day weekend you have absolutely no choice but to go to the expensive ER for help! Bernie you are the only one that makes sense! Thank you for standing up for us!
Most illnesses never require, going to the hospital, but having knowledge about what to do for yourself at home. Fear instilled by the medical industrial complex, is the reason that people go to the emergency room most of the time. I am speaking from experience. They are making it difficult for you to become knowledgeable about how to treat yourself. You might look for a well respected herbalist or acupuncturist. Just a suggestion.🙏
Thank you Honorable Senator Sanders, for seemingly being the only person in our government with the people's of the world's best interest in mind, although I realize that there's others, it's your message that seems to be the purist.

This video is a game changer, I have been looking for the best way to increase my income and start up my retirement, but I really do not know much about investments and trading stocks. I keep postponing every single day that passes, but I want to begin now. How should I start? What do I need to know?
I know I can't do any investment by myself, because last time I tried, I lost all my money. I am serious and interested but also scared of losing money now. What can I do not to end up with same result as last time.
I have done some research, and what I need is an excellent financial advisor to assist me with what I want to do. A good recommendation will do. Thanks.

Another issue we have is SSDI. You have two years before getting Medicare after being awarded SSDI. I mean if you are disabled you need medical help but you have to wait. It makes no sense.

Senator Sanders, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for all you do. Thank you for making me believe that I can make change. I have been so inspired by you to become sober and strong so I can take up the fight you have laid out for us. If it wasn't for you Senator, I would have never begun voting in 2015 after I learned about you.
With your post and your voting support, you have already inspired others and helped bring about the change our beloved nation so needs! Thank YOU. #NotMeUs.
All he does it talk to RUclips - and fails to do anything in Congress or the Party... where it would matter. Your definition of kicking ass is really weak.
With A.I. and automation on the rise, its imperative that we implement universal healthcare and a UBI before the middle class is ravaged beyond repair.
Make sure to replace the insurance corporations and hospital administrators with AIs first before replacing the indispensable people who are still doing the work!
Thank you Senator Sanders, for telling it like it is. The U.S. is in an ugly situation. Something that many see as a side issue but I see as vital is NOT ONLY does Germany, for example, invest in their primary care - they also PROVIDE TUITION-FREE TRAINING of medical personnel in most situations. Grant it, not all - but in most medical schools the students seeking medical doctoral degrees in Germany are NOT facing HALF a MILLION DOLLARS on the average in tuition costs to get their medical certifications - as is happening in the United States. So the country of Germany is investing in the TRAINING of the medical personnel as well. In NURSING FIELDS and GERIATRIC CARE as well. Another thing the country insists on is that EVERY PERSON RESIDING WITHIN GERMANY - MUST - HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE. It is required by law. If you cannot afford it, there are programs to help. It's not cheap for everyone - there are different degrees of coverage - but the BASICS MUST BE COVERED. Those are some takeaways of information that the U.S. needs to change their system for. The country NEEDS the medical personnel. Why does it not also FUND the training instead of forcing people to go into total debt to be able to serve their country. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE??? You, Senator Sanders, are one person I always look to for saying what we need to hear. I cannot thank you enough for YOUR service.

@@practicaliching2311 I agree we got a good screwing but I fought hard to get the ACA because three Senators were each paid 10 million dollars to stop single payer insurance. We need to work harder to get money out of the Congress. Please help.
Thanks for always staying on message. Throughout all the political garbage and trump forcing his crap down our throats on a daily basis. We need legislation passed to make healthcare a right and affordable.
I think it's also important to acknowledge that many health workers feel the expectations of them are not sustainable. Many health professionals are being taken advantage of and feel underappreciated and even abused by hospital management, administrators and the medical industrial complex. A lot of highly trained individuals are leaving the field for good reasons, and for their own mental and physical health and overall well-being.
I know what happened to one of those Nurses which helped cause the current nursing shortage. She joined the Navy right out of high school and while in service she went "Marine side" and became a Navy Corpsman. After eight years, she left the military and became a Registered Nurse. More than twenty years later, the physical stress of nursing took it's toll and after surgery done on both wrists, her back and her neck, the hospital agreed she could no longer work for them so she applied for SSI benefits. She's spent over two years for Social Security to make a decision on her SSI case. When SS denied her application, like so many other average American citizens who find themselves in the same situation, she was *forced* to hire a lawyer to press her case. Now her long term disability insurance at her hospital has run out and she must work out the details to set up Veterans Benefits. No job. No income. No healthcare benefits (yet), No pharmaceutical coverage. Why? Because she lives in the *only* nation which still clings to a for-profit "health"care system that won't even cover 100% of American citizens. *Who* profits? Not average Americans. Just lawyers, insurance companies, Big Pharma and enormous hospital systems who use up their employees like tissues and then toss them in the trash when their health fails. >.
I voted for Bernie in the Democratic Primary. I wanted him so badly as President-but, I’ve since realized Biden was the better pick. Think about how hard they’ve been trying to paint BIDEN as a Communist-and he’s the most Conservative Democrat we’ve got, just imagine how much they’d be sabotaging EVERYTHING BERNIE DID. He would not have been able to deliver as many actual accomplishments as Biden has. Bernie would NOT have been able to get bipartisan support. I’m sorry, but he simply wouldn’t. It’s hard to see someone as boring as Biden as a “good President” but I’m judging by PASSED LEGISLATION. He is a Good President.

I wish I could work for Bernie in Vermont starting asap, but I'm hearing impaired, almost toothless, overweight and with major health problems. My tenant of 9 years tried to get away from the condo on his bicycle at midnite and twenty days later had his foot amputated. Being poor in California is not much of an option for a 78 year old Woodstock dude with no partner and adult children who turn their backs. I worked for Bernie twice without success (2016 and 2020}, but I love him with a passion usually saved for the opposite sex thrice married -no money left with papa and owned by B of A (the Evil Empire maybe, no? I wish he were potus.
You mean to tell me that after working hard all your life that you still cannot afford Medicare and the other important necessities. That is totally unacceptable. This country needs to change!
We love you, Bernie, for keeping it real and keeping at it. As a powerful legislator, you know all these things and you never sound cynical or give up. 🔥
Keep on it, Bernie. We the people need your advocacy more than ever. You are our champion in a world that otherwise ignores us because we have no power. Thank you for all you do. Many blessings to you.
Senator, Thank you for EVERYTHING you've done. It's now up to US, those average citizens, to take EVERY SINGLE fact that you have brought up in this chat, and take it to our state and federal government representatives and ask them just exactly what the hell they're doing about it. We can't let this topic fade into the background. We have to hold them accountable to either fixing this issue, OR they get "primaried" or voted OUT of office. It's really in OUR hands, no one else's.
I recently travelled to the States for a minor spine surgery. It took me 3 weeks to book an appointment with my primary doctor, took another 3 weeks to see a surgeon, surgeon didn’t see me for more than 50 seconds, asked me to get an MRI that took 3 weeks to book and another 2 weeks to get my MRI results. After I got my MRI results, it took me 4 weeks to see the surgeon again, who saw me about 2 minutes, Booked the procedure 20 days later. I literally spent over 4 months, 1000s of dollars to get a minor procedure that wouldn’t take more 1 week to get done everywhere else in the world. The corruption in your health system is purely evil.

Thank you, Bernie - keeping on our side, being persistent on these issues. Unfortunate we don't have many more leaders who are like you. They're so rare.
You've put the cards on the table; will bread, circuses and propaganda forever mean people will never pick them up? Your message is crystal clear to me in New Zealand; it's sad, tragic that so many Americans leave it unheeded.
*THE SHORTAGE of Qualified MEDICAL HELP is about WORKING FOR CRIMINALS of the HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY.* _People don't want to always work for OTHERS._ *Being a DOCTOR was once about being INDEPENDENT & not the TOOL of the HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY.* _Some people think CORPORATISM has made WORKING for yourself IMPOSSIBLE!_
Very good, tnx. Aside with this we need people to eat nutritious healthy food instead of the fastfood crap that gets them/us weak and sickly. Please consider subsidizing Ag that grows healthy foods vs food that sells quickest. If we eat healthier we'll be healthier and need less health care. Appreciate your stats and data. Keep up the good!
❤😊Thank you! Senator Sanders. We all know how hard you work for people behind the scenes. My mom had Medicare but no Vision Dental or Hearing coverage. Insane 🙄
I was so pleased caregiving for my beloved mother. Social Services in Cali here so understaffed & overwhelmed & underpaid our efforts to keep her in her home was undermined by rapacious reprobate brother as POA tricked her into going for an Easter visit not bringing her back home but stuck her in a senior facility far from home in order to sell her home undervalue for his own Monetary Benefit! That was illegal tho no one, law enforcement agencies nor Social Services prevented her from being abducted, our greatest fear. From the shock of this crime robbing her of all her assets, she declined from perfect health to stroking into a catatonic state over a year tube fed unable to speak or eat all because the homes have skyrocketed in value making vulnerable elderly homeowners ripe for being defrauded by even family together conspiring to underhand confiscate their estate & assets. Yet elder financial fraud is the number one white collar crime no one is addressing the issue as though these seniors do not matter i.e. what happened to my mom dying of a broken heart 💔
That's right, Bernie is a national hero!!!! and I think he deserves a prize for it. The presidential medal of honor!!!! This man never stops trying to help the people and the planet. ...we need someone like you in charge,,,of All these major issues that are collapsing Human and natural ecosystems.
Thank you for providing us with the information we need to make knowledgeable decisions. Thank you for letting us now. The improprieties going on in our government.
The senator is spot on about everything except one important concept. As a board certified family medicine doctor I went straight to a rural area after residency where, after fighting with insurance companies, big pharma and corporate hospital systems, I found I couldn’t afford to raise my family practicing primary care and went to the ER full time. Now, as my career draws to a close, I have given up and can no longer fight “the good fight”. They have won, and I’m hanging up my cleats and calling it a ball game. I only hope I can deal with the health care system better as a victim (patient) in my old age better than I’ve been able to change it as a participant. By the way, the important concept the senator misses is that health care isn’t a “right” any more than eating or decent housing or reliable transportation. The founders didn’t mention it as an unalienable right, and it is not one. It is a commodity for which we must work and fight and never take for granted, because it’s not.
Well our founding fathers gave us the lawful right to change our governmental system as time progresses. It is high time to make important necessities like nutrition, housing, and health care inalienable rights for the sake of all Americans. Not everything needs to be a private, profit making business. We are a democratic republic not an oligarchic republic.
Dear Bernie, I was a nurse x 30 years, mostly in home hospice. I agree with all of your thoughts. The situation is appealing. However, climate change is more dangerous for all of us. Please focus on that, before my kids and grandchild run out of time. Thank you.
Here in Florida I have health insurance that enables me to go see whatever specialist I want to. However, doctors here in Florida will not see you without another doctors referral and then when you do get referred to someone you only get to see a PA or a nurse practitioner not a doctor. I have been getting sicker and sicker for four years and still no one knows what's wrong with me and I'm still seeing people that are not doctors. I'm crying almost every day.

I HOPE that she will be thinking long and hard about where the red line is for her re the NHS , and I'm praying that New Labour under Kier Starmer et Al, will think again about the decision they already seem to have taken, to take the UK down the open market health care model.
I hope too that the people of USA can think what is best for their communities and families.🌹all the best for getting this Bill passed, Mr Sanders💖
You are the best Bernie 💙💙💙💙
Your the Best ❤️ my Bernie 🔥 Thank you Great report True facts 💯🙏🏼
Appreciate all your hard work Bernie and how you care for people. Too bad the wealthiest country in the world cares so little about the health & health care of its people.
You rock, Bernie!🙂
I think you missed in your post...
I'm sure you meant
"Kick Rocks, Bernie!"
He and the other Fake Fraud Progressive are warmongering pigs.
The reason healthcare is so expensive is you have to buy your healthcare at the company store where you get locked into the system and they can charge whatever they want and offer substandard service with huge deductibles.
This is why we need to go to a pure competitive free market system where people can walk away and go someplace else if they don't like the prices or services.
Democrats put on wage and price controls in WW2. Which forced companies to offer healthcare to draw in workers. Then Obama in his infinite incompetence codified into law buying your healthcare at the company store. And Bernie voted for Obama's unaffordable care act.
Bernie has been part of the problem with healthcare. He can't and won't be part of the solution.
@@practicaliching2311Are you really blaming FDR for this? You're blaming the GREATEST PRESIDENT we have ever had??? A president who gave power to unions, high wages, high middle class growth, you sure you really want to hate him????
@@practicaliching2311stop trolling every comment on here spreading your hate!! You are mentally ill and this is abusive of you! Stop 🛑 harassing the Senator!! We will keep reporting you.
@@practicaliching2311 Yes. True.
The battle for a functional country will be tough, since many politicians reap the benefits of the corrupt system, but with people like Bernie out there, there is hope that we can become a livable nation again
Senator Sanders, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for all you do. Thank you for making me believe that I can make change. I have been so inspired by you to become sober and strong so I can take up the fight you have laid out for us. If it wasn't for you Senator, I would have never begun voting in 2015 after I learned about you.
With your post and your voting support, you have already inspired others and helped bring about the change our beloved nation so needs! Thank YOU. #NotMeUs.
Yes! We should make medical education free for primary care doctors and nurses to fix this shortage.
Keep kicking ass Bernie! We're ready for a change from these corrosive politicians and judges.
All he does it talk to RUclips - and fails to do anything in Congress or the Party... where it would matter. Your definition of kicking ass is really weak.
With A.I. and automation on the rise, its imperative that we implement universal healthcare and a UBI before the middle class is ravaged beyond repair.
too late
Amen
Make sure to replace the insurance corporations and hospital administrators with AIs first before replacing the indispensable people who are still doing the work!
Thank you Senator Sanders, for telling it like it is. The U.S. is in an ugly situation. Something that many see as a side issue but I see as vital is NOT ONLY does Germany, for example, invest in their primary care - they also PROVIDE TUITION-FREE TRAINING of medical personnel in most situations. Grant it, not all - but in most medical schools the students seeking medical doctoral degrees in Germany are NOT facing HALF a MILLION DOLLARS on the average in tuition costs to get their medical certifications - as is happening in the United States. So the country of Germany is investing in the TRAINING of the medical personnel as well. In NURSING FIELDS and GERIATRIC CARE as well. Another thing the country insists on is that EVERY PERSON RESIDING WITHIN GERMANY - MUST - HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE. It is required by law. If you cannot afford it, there are programs to help. It's not cheap for everyone - there are different degrees of coverage - but the BASICS MUST BE COVERED. Those are some takeaways of information that the U.S. needs to change their system for. The country NEEDS the medical personnel. Why does it not also FUND the training instead of forcing people to go into total debt to be able to serve their country. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE???
You, Senator Sanders, are one person I always look to for saying what we need to hear. I cannot thank you enough for YOUR service.
Thanks for caring Bernie. You are a national hero.
Peace

@@practicaliching2311 I agree we got a good screwing but I fought hard to get the ACA because three Senators were each paid 10 million dollars to stop single payer insurance.
We need to work harder to get money out of the Congress. Please help.
@@practicaliching2311 And that healthcare plan was one a Republican put together. So, what would you do the get bipartisan support?
Love you Bernie ❤ Keep up the good work! I will keep voting for you!
I wish I had a chance to vote for him,he's never been on my ballot.
Thank you Bernie,
I am always inspired to listen to what you say. Love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
All he does is talk. He's supporting the people and party that are entirely against his agenda he purports on RUclips. He's a fake.
@@phaZed9 Nah
@@SagesatYa, what bills has he introduced and passed? What has he done other than speaking tours? See what I mean?
He's introduced many bills. They don't pass because of our friends in red. @@phaZed9
Thanks for always staying on message. Throughout all the political garbage and trump forcing his crap down our throats on a daily basis. We need legislation passed to make healthcare a right and affordable.
I think it's also important to acknowledge that many health workers feel the expectations of them are not sustainable. Many health professionals are being taken advantage of and feel underappreciated and even abused by hospital management, administrators and the medical industrial complex. A lot of highly trained individuals are leaving the field for good reasons, and for their own mental and physical health and overall well-being.
THANK YOU, SENATOR, for the way you focus on the issues.
I know what happened to one of those Nurses which helped cause the current nursing shortage.
She joined the Navy right out of high school and while in service she went "Marine side" and became a Navy Corpsman.
After eight years, she left the military and became a Registered Nurse.
More than twenty years later, the physical stress of nursing took it's toll and after surgery done on both wrists, her back and her neck, the hospital agreed she could no longer work for them so she applied for SSI benefits.
She's spent over two years for Social Security to make a decision on her SSI case.
When SS denied her application, like so many other average American citizens who find themselves in the same situation, she was *forced* to hire a lawyer to press her case.
Now her long term disability insurance at her hospital has run out and she must work out the details to set up Veterans Benefits.
No job. No income. No healthcare benefits (yet), No pharmaceutical coverage. Why? Because she lives in the *only* nation which still clings to a for-profit "health"care system that won't even cover 100% of American citizens.
*Who* profits?
Not average Americans.
Just lawyers, insurance companies, Big Pharma and enormous hospital systems who use up their employees like tissues and then toss them in the trash when their health fails.

Thank you Bernie for your indefatigable efforts to truly represent our interests. We deeply deeply appreciate you. You're my president.
I voted for Bernie in the Democratic Primary. I wanted him so badly as President-but, I’ve since realized Biden was the better pick. Think about how hard they’ve been trying to paint BIDEN as a Communist-and he’s the most Conservative Democrat we’ve got, just imagine how much they’d be sabotaging EVERYTHING BERNIE DID. He would not have been able to deliver as many actual accomplishments as Biden has. Bernie would NOT have been able to get bipartisan support. I’m sorry, but he simply wouldn’t. It’s hard to see someone as boring as Biden as a “good President” but I’m judging by PASSED LEGISLATION. He is a Good President.

He would've been President if not for mainstream media and DNC colluding. Same as they're doing to Marianne Williamson.
YES, DAMN IT! BERNIE SHOULD BE IN HIS SECOND TERM, IF THE DNC HADN'T STOLEN HIS NOMINATION TWICE!!!!
I wish I could work for Bernie in Vermont starting asap, but I'm hearing impaired, almost toothless, overweight and with major health problems. My tenant of 9 years tried to get away from the condo on his bicycle at midnite and twenty days later had his foot amputated.
Being poor in California is not much of an option for a 78 year old Woodstock dude with no partner and adult children who turn their backs.
I worked for Bernie twice without success (2016 and 2020}, but I love him with a passion usually saved for the opposite sex thrice married -no money left with papa and owned by B of A (the Evil Empire maybe, no?
I wish he were potus.
I'm retired and can't afford Medicare. It's ridiculous.
You mean to tell me that after working hard all your life that you still cannot afford Medicare and the other important necessities. That is totally unacceptable. This country needs to change!
@@r.pres.4121 Unfortunately, yes. Sometimes working a full-time job plus 2 part time jobs. You're right. It needs to change.
Shame we don’t have 218 reps who think like Bernie and 60 Senators who think like him.
Absolutely the Best 💯👍🏼👍🏼
WE HAVE A NATION OF NON-VOTING CITIZENS!!! THAT NEEDS TO CHANGE THIS NEXT VOTING YEAR!!!
@@beeamendola Absolutely correct 💯
We gotta fight like HELL at the voting booth locally and Primary 🇺🇲💙🙏🏼
Rank choice voting is the first step
They got great healthcare.
It must!
We love you, Bernie, for keeping it real and keeping at it. As a powerful legislator, you know all these things and you never sound cynical or give up. 🔥
Keep on it, Bernie. We the people need your advocacy more than ever. You are our champion in a world that otherwise ignores us because we have no power. Thank you for all you do. Many blessings to you.
I work for a hospital in New mexico, for a family of 5 I pay 1k a month for health insurance. It's a scam!
Senator,
Thank you for EVERYTHING you've done. It's now up to US, those average citizens, to take EVERY SINGLE fact that you have brought up in this chat, and take it to our state and federal government representatives and ask them just exactly what the hell they're doing about it. We can't let this topic fade into the background. We have to hold them accountable to either fixing this issue, OR they get "primaried" or voted OUT of office. It's really in OUR hands, no one else's.
I recently travelled to the States for a minor spine surgery. It took me 3 weeks to book an appointment with my primary doctor, took another 3 weeks to see a surgeon, surgeon didn’t see me for more than 50 seconds, asked me to get an MRI that took 3 weeks to book and another 2 weeks to get my MRI results.
After I got my MRI results, it took me 4 weeks to see the surgeon again, who saw me about 2 minutes, Booked the procedure 20 days later. I literally spent over 4 months, 1000s of dollars to get a minor procedure that wouldn’t take more 1 week to get done everywhere else in the world. The corruption in your health system is purely evil.
Thank you Senator Sanders for your continued work on behalf of all of us! ❤

@@crazyzabo I agree, shocking sell out when he had a massive following. I think it was the DNC that shut him down. He knew what was happening and bowed out...
@@crazyzaboa lot. If you paid attention you would know. You aren’t even trying to see what good things Biden has done because you are too filled with the cult hate to care about others. You like trump because he’s filled with hatred just like you are. You don’t have to be like that.
@@practicaliching2311you are trolling every comment just to spread your lies and hatred and talk bad about Bernie when the real issue is that you hate yourself. You are filled with hatred just like trump is. That cancer will kill you dude. You don’t have to be like that. It’s horrible to die of cancer by yourself.
Thank you for being a voice of reason in this insane country.
Thank you for all you do
Thank you, Bernie - keeping on our side, being persistent on these issues. Unfortunate we don't have many more leaders who are like you. They're so rare.
Love you Bernie!!!! Keep speaking truth, I'll keep amplifying it!
You've put the cards on the table; will bread, circuses and propaganda forever mean people will never pick them up? Your message is crystal clear to me in New Zealand; it's sad, tragic that so many Americans leave it unheeded.
*THE SHORTAGE of Qualified MEDICAL HELP is about WORKING FOR CRIMINALS of the HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY.* _People don't want to always work for OTHERS._ *Being a DOCTOR was once about being INDEPENDENT & not the TOOL of the HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY.* _Some people think CORPORATISM has made WORKING for yourself IMPOSSIBLE!_
Very good, tnx. Aside with this we need people to eat nutritious healthy food instead of the fastfood crap that gets them/us weak and sickly. Please consider subsidizing Ag that grows healthy foods vs food that sells quickest. If we eat healthier we'll be healthier and need less health care. Appreciate your stats and data. Keep up the good!
Absolutely right Bernie. Thank you for always working for WE THE PEOPLE. WE LOVE YOU!
❤😊Thank you! Senator Sanders. We all know how hard you work for people behind the scenes. My mom had Medicare but no Vision Dental or Hearing coverage. Insane 🙄
Bernie is one of a few politicians that tells it how it is. Unfortunately there aren't more like him.
right on point as always! thank you Bernie... hope that somebody will listen to you and you are not barking at the wall...
Thank you. This is the number one issue.
That's why I am voting for Marianne Williamson! #Marianne2024 #MedicareForAll
Thank you, sir. You have my lifelong respect and gratitude for your work.
I will always be thankful for your work. Till my last breath. Thank you. 🧡
I was so pleased caregiving for my beloved mother.
Social Services in Cali here so understaffed & overwhelmed & underpaid our efforts to keep her in her home was undermined by rapacious reprobate brother as POA tricked her into going for an Easter visit not bringing her back home but stuck her in a senior facility far from home in order to sell her home undervalue for his own Monetary Benefit!
That was illegal tho no one, law enforcement agencies nor Social Services prevented her from being abducted, our greatest fear.
From the shock of this crime robbing her of all her assets, she declined from perfect health to stroking into a catatonic state over a year tube fed unable to speak or eat all because the homes have skyrocketed in value making vulnerable elderly homeowners ripe for being defrauded by even family together conspiring to underhand confiscate their estate & assets. Yet elder financial fraud is the number one white collar crime no one is addressing the issue as though these seniors do not matter i.e. what happened to my mom dying of a broken heart 💔
That's right, Bernie is a national hero!!!! and I think he deserves a prize for it. The presidential medal of honor!!!! This man never stops trying to help the people and the planet. ...we need someone like you in charge,,,of All these major issues that are collapsing Human and natural ecosystems.
Thank you for providing us with the information we need to make knowledgeable decisions. Thank you for letting us now. The improprieties going on in our government.
Thank you Tio Bernie.
Clear explanations backed by your undieing humanity are beyond price.
Thank you. Bernie. Must you never give up!
You are so right to speak out on this. Thank you.
Thank you bernie for all you do
Unit behind Bernie Sanders! Unit people unit. Remember united we stand divided you get screwed. Vote! Vote! Vote!
Love you Barney and everything you do for us wish we could convince you to run for president one more time
Thank you for a lifetime of service to the people❣️🕊
The senator is spot on about everything except one important concept. As a board certified family medicine doctor I went straight to a rural area after residency where, after fighting with insurance companies, big pharma and corporate hospital systems, I found I couldn’t afford to raise my family practicing primary care and went to the ER full time. Now, as my career draws to a close, I have given up and can no longer fight “the good fight”. They have won, and I’m hanging up my cleats and calling it a ball game. I only hope I can deal with the health care system better as a victim (patient) in my old age better than I’ve been able to change it as a participant. By the way, the important concept the senator misses is that health care isn’t a “right” any more than eating or decent housing or reliable transportation. The founders didn’t mention it as an unalienable right, and it is not one. It is a commodity for which we must work and fight and never take for granted, because it’s not.
Well our founding fathers gave us the lawful right to change our governmental system as time progresses. It is high time to make important necessities like nutrition, housing, and health care inalienable rights for the sake of all Americans. Not everything needs to be a private, profit making business. We are a democratic republic not an oligarchic republic.
Good Morning all... Mr. Bernie, you're absolutely! We all need Help.😢 Thank you, Mr.Bernie
Be proactive with primary care instead of reactive complications down the line
Run, Bernie, run!!! * * * Bernie 2024 * * *
I wish I could cast my vote for Bernie 2024.
Dear Bernie, I was a nurse x 30 years, mostly in home hospice. I agree with all of your thoughts. The situation is appealing. However, climate change is more dangerous for all of us. Please focus on that, before my kids and grandchild run out of time. Thank you.
❤ love you Bernie. Still wishing so much that you were President.
Thank you, Senator Bernie Sanders. You always have the people's back. Thank you sir.
Here in Florida I have health insurance that enables me to go see whatever specialist I want to. However, doctors here in Florida will not see you without another doctors referral and then when you do get referred to someone you only get to see a PA or a nurse practitioner not a doctor. I have been getting sicker and sicker for four years and still no one knows what's wrong with me and I'm still seeing people that are not doctors. I'm crying almost every day.
