Sen. Bernie Sanders Calls Out John McCain on Socialized VA Health Care System

[BluTrilobite]

Excellent, someone needs to speak-up on our behalf. Anyone who dislikes or disagrees must really like paying through the nose for the simplest of health care and is most likely taking lobbiest blood money to chirp-up for big insurance.

The Democrats' biggest problem is getting their message out there. If he went on Fox News once in a while, and other news programs to say exactly this, maybe the country would make a bit more sense.

Socialized medical coverage paid but the money of taxpayers sound like terrible! Golly, I hope it never happens under the American Flag!

Medicare = Taxpayer Funded

Medicaid= Taxpayer Funded

United States Senator's healthcare= Taxpayer Funded

Guantanamo Prisoners who try to kill us = Taxpayer Funded

United States Military Personnel= Taxpayer funded

Average American= You love your country? Pay for you own healthcare freeloader!!

What a country!

VA healthcare and all state and local govt benefits are then "socialized" programs.

So, are state colleges and universities -- they are all subsidized by tax payers.

Why do Repugs find okay to get educated at state universities/college systems, but then turn around and prevent poor from public healthcare system?

Bernie has BALLS. God Bless him. He will never have enough power to do what needs to be done, but it is very nice to know that one out of HUNDREDs of Politicians is honest.

man this whole government is messed up.

[Debralynn18091]

He makes TOTAL sense! Why hasn't this happened yet?

Can we talk about whats really a waste of money? All the time they've spent debating the health care issue, almost a year without results, all the while collecting their salaries and medical benefits payed for by us, the taxpayers. That includes millions of uninsured taxpayes too!

@Debralynn18091

A year! Congress has been sitting up there collecting their salaries (full salary even during the time they only worked 2& 3 day work weeks- you know-"less government") and letting us pay for their medical coverage while they debated whether some section of Americans (or all Americans) should have medical coverage since the 1930s!!!! Some of them have been up there for more than 2/3rds of that time!

Won't be reform until insurance is no longer exempt from the anti-trust laws.

[Tougemaster06]

@psychocycledad He is a Democratic Socialist. He would never make it with all those Palintards out there.
