Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) told Jake Tapper on CNN's State of the Union Sunday that he will "absolutely" introduce legislation on single-payer healthcare now that the Senate GOP's bill to repeal ObamaCare has failed.
"If people don't like the private insurance that they're getting, they should have a Medicare-type public option available in every state in this country," Sanders said
Asked if he would follow through on his pledge to submit single-payer legislation, Sanders said, "Of course we are, we're tweaking the final points of the bill and we're figuring out how we can mount a national campaign to bring people together"
"We are the only major country on Earth not to guarantee health care to all people," Sanders said, "We should ... move in the direction of every other major country."
"I believe at the end of the day, the American people will conclude that Medicare for all -- Medicare is working now for people 65 or older -- let's expand it to everyone."
Trump and Musk are on an unconstitutional rampage, aiming for virtually every corner of the federal government. These two right-wing billionaires are targeting nurses, scientists, teachers, daycare providers, judges, veterans, air traffic controllers, and nuclear safety inspectors. No one is safe. The food stamps program, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are next. It’s an unprecedented disaster and a five-alarm fire, but there will be a reckoning. The people did not vote for this. The American people do not want this dystopian hellscape that hides behind claims of “efficiency.” Still, in reality, it is all a giveaway to corporate interests and the libertarian dreams of far-right oligarchs like Musk. Common Dreams is playing a vital role by reporting day and night on this orgy of corruption and greed, as well as what everyday people can do to organize and fight back. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support. |
