It is unclear whether he was sent on to an emergency room because he lacked insurance, or because his condition was too serious for the facility to handle.

Ought to, mind, but....

Do, please, keep us informed whenever this windbag says what just about everyone who is not a Republican turd says on any subject.





"From Bernie’s perspective, dropping out of a race once you have no chance of winning is peculiar behavior that can only be explained by the work of a hidden hand. For most politicians, though, it is actually standard operating procedure. Only Sanders seems to think the normal thing to do once voters have made clear they don’t want to nominate you is to continue campaigning anyway."





"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."

Drop out now BS and unify against drump.

he would drop out!

But of course he doesn't. At this point he is just working directly for tRump.

There is no point to any of this. The effort you make is utterly pointless. It occasions only laughter, no one here takes this seriously at all. You do not even score points for effort....

Bernie is not capable of fixing it.

Does he have any specific examples to cite or is this just something he made up?

BTW, according to the legislation that HE voted for (did he read the "damn bill"?) testing and treatment are free.

(so the raw data analyzed is probably from 2006 or 2007). I suspect that those numbers have changed since that time.

What is killing people today is lack of equipment and congestion at hospitals.

The other 3% thought Andrew Yang had a good Utopian future in the works. So I'm not seeing people lobbying as a motivating factor. Saving capitalism's latest financial and economic meltdown, now that's something Republicans understand. To paint this as Republicans heeding citizen lobbying is total bs from BS in my view.

sitting up in the balcony, heckling others and offering cantankerous opinions.

The doctors, nurses, PCTs, respiratory techs, clinics hospitals housekeepers and so many more.

What we need is side by side legislation well though out to make sure when have enough people to care for people, else it’s a complete clusterfuck of epic proportions. M4A is a slogan.

we will need to make major investments in growing our medical infrastructure.

I believe it will call for nothing short of altering our national ethos...well as with all things at least for a time.

Is another way of saying 'ain't gonna see it in my lifetime, kiddo'.

Nations do not alter their national ethos, not short of something as catastrophic as the Russian or Chinese revolutions, or the complete wreckage made of Germany and Japan in the Second World War. And even in such instances, important continuities can be observed.

One of the things required of a politician seeking change is to locate a space within the nation's ethos for that change, and to relate it to what people are accustomed to seeing as their country's ways and manners. That takes profound understanding of people, and of the particular country, and its political and social cross-currents. These are things rigid ideologues are unsuited to doing, and generally prove incapable of doing.

FDR changed the national ethos, for the better. Reagan changed the national ethos, for the worse.

Towards different directions, certainly, but none of them stretched any existing boundary. The United States trembled near the brink of real revolution in 1932. Poring through newspapers from that and the previous year is extremely instructive. Mr. Roosevelt prevented this, while some other figures, such as the Kingfish, Mr. Long, sought to ride it to confiscation of wealth and its redistribution. Reagan changed very little, really, he just empowered a political and social reaction long underway against what were considered by many 'excesses' of the sixties and the counter-culture. Nothing he did or said cannot be found in wide circulation for decades previous.

would rank as the single biggest piece of legislation on over 50 years. I'll roll with him.

Next issue?

over 30 years in Congress, has Sanders ever actually done to improve health care except bore the fuck out of all of us talking about it? Where is his Senatorial coalition to get us better health care? And, just WTF was he doing to help when Obamacare was being put together?

Yes, there are people who have cut their overpriced meds down to dangerous levels, refused to see a doctor because of the bills, and otherwise hurt themselves because of problems paying the bill. And more are heading to bankruptcy court.

But, again, wtf has Sanders done to help? We have children's health programs, elderly health programs, native American health programs, poor people's health programs, workmen's compensation, veteran's care, negligence lawsuits... All of these were invented to solve specific medical situations and every one of them show the good and bad news of trying to get health care through Congress. If Congress was even involved at all.

Does Bernie even know what's out there already and have some idea how to get the existing programs to work better together?

And, finally, MFA is merely a way to pay for health care, but does absolutely nothing to improve or increase the availability of health care, without much more work. Just a guess, but reducing reimbursement rates to present Medicare or Medicaid levels could well reduce the level of care.

Anyone wanna know why a newly minted MD with a few hundred thousand in med school debt might be tempted to be a dermatologist rather than a GP? How will Berniecare deal with that?

People are dying because we have an ass in the WH who is an incompetent and denying states the means of fighting this virus.

We have nurses, doctors and staff on the front lines dying with no means of protecting themselves. I have a godchild that is there. She doesn't know if she is bringing it home to her husband and children when she leaves work. Think about that. Think about the grandmother and great grandmother a few months shy of 94, they can't visit for fear of passing it to her. She gets it, she dies. Think about me and people like me, the home caregiver that can't see them for rear of bring the virus home.

The number in Italy moments ago, 51 doctors have died doing their job. They had the best healthcare in the world and they died, DOING THEIR JOB.

I beg you and Bernie to stop politicizing this, after all it by his own words said it is not about "Me". It is about US. I take him at his word.

Even before the corona virus Americans were dying by the tens of thousands because of our lack of a health care system designed to actually deliver health care so much as make profit, however that was largely all but ignored because the wealthiest and most powerful in our society were never at risk until now because they had "health" insurance or money.

Italy did not have the best health care system in Europe much less the world.

I feel for every health care worker courageously and selflessly placing their own health/lives at risk by healing others during this crisis, it's no less than the military going into combat on a daily basis, but even greater because their own families are also at risk.

I heard the same arguments from Republicans after Katrina drowned New Orleans, now is not the time to talk about global warming climate change, we have a crisis.

I have always believed the American Nation could/should be able to walk and chew gum at the same time.

and yet doesn't convince enough of his congressional colleagues to do the right thing is that his fault and not theirs?
