Bernie Sanders Counters Republicans

Sen. Bernie Sanders points out:
  • we already have socialized medicine with the VA Hospitals.
  • we already have single-payer system with Medicare.
While not perfect, people like the way they work. They are preferred over private health care.

The function of the Government is not to support the private Health Care Industry. It is to improve the system for Americans. The Gallup Polls show a wide support for Universal Health Care, around 65-70%.

Funny how despite this wide support by the people, Congress has a disconnect with their constituents and seems to be paid off by the health care lobby.

And what kind of health care do the Senators and Representatives that want to help out big business enjoy? Government single payer which they would never give up in a million years.
