    1. @Tessmage Tessera wouldn’t surprise me whites still majority of the population.
      Now take it one step further. By population percentage. Now do your math…….

    1. @CatOMattic 5000 You may have coverage but you are still paying for medicare, medicaid and the VA. So you are paying a “dime”.

    2. Logic B4Religion ok at least I don’t have wait months to see a doctor or to get an operation everything is up to me not someone else

    3. @CatOMattic 5000 There are no wait times for a doctor if its an emergency or life threatening ailments. Also, wait times are only for elective procedures. Where the average wait time for elective procedures is eight weeks here. While the average wait time for elective procedures in the United States is six weeks. Also, that is just Canada’s system (which longer wait times here have nothing to do with the system), other single payer systems surpass or are on par with the United States on wait times. So what are you trying to get at?

      Everything isn’t up to you, it is up to the insurance company. Here at least its up to actual doctors — doctors run our healthcare system, not bureaucrats or shareholders like in the U.S.

    4. Logic B4Religion you clearly know nothing about the American healthcare system if the US implements a single payer system it will cost over 52 trillion dollars a massive raise in all taxes over 2 million jobs lost and a decrease in quality of healthcare wait times in major cities would be massive and emergency rooms would be flooded with people making them unusable

    5. Clearly logicb4religion doesnt understand your level of indoctrination driven by fear. 52t over 10 years is ~what we pay now. Bernie Sanders’ plans price tag is considerably lower, even by a koch funded study, and would provide more comprehensive coverage from what i understand. Do we want to pay for health CARE , or just to pad the pockets of pharma ceos and shareholders?

  1. Anyone who has been burned by the “out-of-network-scam” should be interested in health care reform. It’s time for someone else to get burned.

    1. @rolback who said anybody would work for less money other than the people being paid off by health insurance lobbies?

    2. @SecureTheBag 93 raising taxes does not equate to paying more for healthcare. The current system has a higher cost and just calls it premiums, copays deductibles and denial if coverage. I don’t mind if it’s a lower amount and we call it a tax.

    1. G Homan well if center corporate dems dont. Bernie will then rally the people and support a primary chalkenger to the dem house seat. Thats the problem if the democrate wanna be the party of “nothing fundamentally changing” as biden says. But bernie will reform the dem party

    2. @Greenmane yeah I don’t care that much I just like triggering the Bernie supporters and watching them throw a fit. But as much as I dislike Trump my feeling is there is a lot of sentiment of ill will toward socialism in the GOP base both never Trumpers and the Trumpers so Trump will win 2020 if Bernie wins that’s my belief not that I know or have facts to prove it but…. I knew for a month before Trump won he was going to.

    3. G Homan well history says otherwise. Hilary was a centrist dem equivalent to biden and she lost. Those socialist arguments have easy rebutles by bernie.

    4. @GreenMane Bernie couldn’t make it through the Democratic debates without an ER visit, you don’t think that his health is going to come into question? They spent 2 weeks talking about how sick Hillary was because she tripped and weeks talking about President Trump’s health because he drinks too much soda. Bernie was hospitalized with what he thought was a heart attack, he is not electable.

  2. CNN and MSNBC will turn on her for this due to all of the prescription/insurance companies funding these networks thru commercials.

    1. They already are look above. which is a shame her plans are the most detailed and clear so far on the campaign trail. not only that she really is on the average persons side, she basically created the CPB.

    2. I am Canadian and I can’t believe how many pharmaceutical and insurance commercials you people have on your networks. And I noticed lately they are running plans that say “free dental, prescription coverage, and eye care” without a cost increase. WTF? If they could do that now and still make money, the question has to be asked, how much are they actually gouging you all? It seems certain politicians in the U.S. are scaring them to be offering that now.

    3. You’re all correct. democrats and their media Pravda flunkies are the biggest corrupt crony-capitalist there are. Only in democrat allied la la land can a network like CNN be dead last and a ghost town when it comes to viewership but lead in advertising revenues from Obamacare-tied Big Insurancand Big pharma.

    1. Around $52 trillion, along with approximately 43% of your gross paycheck, more if we are required to cover the illegal aliens, and even more than that when the super wealthy leave the country to escape the guaranteed socialist economic collapse.

    2. @DasKrug noone wants the super wealthy to f up their country. They just corrupt the government, and they would lose their universal healthcare, and become corporate drones like us in the U.S.

    3. @Rex Look at every other developed country. They all pay around half of what we do, and all have some form of universal care. Stop the propoganda.

    1. It should be healthy people pay low rates while unhealthy people pay the most. But liberals don’t like that because that means you’re fat shaming. Dumbasses don’t realize America has the best healthcare despite having the most unhealthy populous.

    2. @Dat dumbass Republicans don’t realize that at any time they can come down with a serious, life threatening illness that can immediately bankrupt you and lead you to an early gave. Your great healthcare system is a rip-off.

  3. Liz & Bern are the best. Reporters need to quit trying to make this a grudge match…
    Degredation of journalism.

    1. Notice, though, that neither Bernie nor Liz are allowing the press to turn this healthy rivalry into a spectacle.

    1. All other countries in the developed world and many among the less-developed nations, do not have the luxury of cutting off all non-rich citizens from health care while demanding that poor people show “individual responsibility.” The rich have a responsibility to show some collective responsibility for those who are too poor to afford health care or private health insurance. We know which side of this question of responsibility Jesus Christ would have been on. Trump-voting super-rich friends of Donald and his universe do not seem to even know who Jesus was, let alone what his Christian message was. “Evangelical Trumpets” my foot! These holier-than-thou “Evangelical” 1%ers are tantamount to corporate welfare bums. How responsible of them.

    1. … and the Republican Party is funnier than that show Seinfeld.

      Both parties are a joke. Both parties are pro-war and both parties are violently immoral, despicable and corrupt.

      Stop being so fucking blind. Neither party will help you. They’re pushing Medicare-For-All because Obamacare is a joke. Furthermore Obamacare is 100% identical to Mitt Romney’s healthcare policy that he passed as Governor of Massachusetts. Look it up.

      The most important thing to recognize is that wages have not been raised in this country for over four decades. Medicare-For-All is the latest but necessary consolation prize that certain politicians are parading around the campaign trail because they know that the political system is solely and fully focused on meeting corporate interests, maintaining income inequality/low wages, bailing out Wall Street and bowing down to the profit-driven and bloodthirsty military industrial complex.

      Even when you look at terrorism in the world, the reality is that the United States is selling weapons to extremist factions in collaboration with the psychotic and authoritarian government of Saudi Arabia. In other words, the United States government is creating the terrorists. Both Republicans and Democrats love selling weapons to extremist organizations because it’s all about the money in the end.

    2. What’s funny is that the right makes comments like these with a straight face when they’re literally defending an orange man-child reality tv show host who uses sharpies to doctor maps cause he can’t admit a hurricane won’t hit Alabama.

    1. @Lisa Turnbow , he is not a good candidate, just like most demoncraps. He wants to take away people’s 2nd amendment rights. He doesn’t want anyone to be able to protect themselves in a self defense situation, even in their own home. I say screw that.

  4. If you working to pay for your medical insurance where do rent food households etc come in at girl bye we already working 2 jobs to get by.
