Sanders' Honest Assessment of the Health Reform Bill - MSNBC's Morning Joe

[icantfindanamex86]

Well, at least there's one sane person left in our government

i wish senator sanders stands up to the pro-israel lobby. they make the insurance lobby look like amateurs.

[MazdakTV]

@at8933

Are you seriously so naive to think that a pro-israel lobby like AIPAC can overrule the insurance lobby or any of the corporate lobbies...?

AIPAC is powerful, but not more than the corporate lobby.

[xhagast]

@at8933 It is VERY hard to stand up to somebody while occupying two nations, killing hundreds each month and debating whether to invade a third nation. Besides, the Israelis have the NASTIEST neighbors available. It is fashionable to weep for the Palestinians but they are pariahs in the Middle East.

Israel is not killing 45,000 Americans each year or costing the US 17% of its GNP. To me Israel is an insignificant issue. Remember, TWICE the US pulled Israel out of Egypt.

We are all ran by 100 members of the Senate. 100 people control us and rip us off! I say vote them all out and never vote for the same one twice. Every year a new one. I would say keep Senator Sanders but he could have voted no on this disaster and maybe that would be the end of it and back to the table, so even he has to go.

@elainemax2

The Senate is worse than the House because it is more economical to buy a senator than it is to buy a house member. You have to spend over 4 times as much on a Senator for it to be a worse deal than buying a Representative.

[FriedDaisy]

The most important point made in this clip is that our government is not beholden to we the people, but to the big money interests lurking behind everything from these health care insurance scams to the so-called "free market."

We have become the employees of the corporate states of America. We are the indentured servants to the likes of Exonn/Mobile, Etna, and Halliburton. We are debt slaves. We are nothing but cogs in the infernal capitalist machine.

[marcusyizong]

hey ..cool..once all of us legal aliens aren't forced to line up at the emergency wards to get our health-care. The lines will be much shorter and the illegals won't have to wait any more ...its a win win situation..

[drharris2020]

legal aliens aren't prevented from buying insurance just like all of us do.

The illegals will still have to wait, but now we will all wait with them. Unless you are retarded, it's a loose loose situation.

[marcusyizong]

no shit.. Sherlock

[ajl1239]

Sanders is a real American hero.

[TheTruePooka]

I can at least respect that Senator Sanders admitted the truth;

that America is no longer a Democracy and the average American has absolutely no Government Representation.

That's something at least. I suppose this means my options are to either somehow get very wealthy or to relocate to another country if I want health care.

[lilyanneisme]

Be afraid, be very afraid. Of course, if you are a thinking person you already know that. Did anyone think when they cast that vote for Obama tht Obama would screw us over even worse that Georgie Boy? I certainly didn't, gadz do I feel stupid and I really really hate that feeling. Can anyone think of one good reason why we have to take this crap from the insurance industries, corporations, financial institutions and so on? There's more of us than there are of them!

[Samalabear]

@lilyanneisme

I didn't totally trust Obama and voted a bit reluctantly, but no, I never expected it to be this bad.

[trelane227]

"Did anyone think ... Obama would screw us over even worse that Georgie Boy?"

Oh please. I'm no big fan of Obama. Right now my feelings for him are mixed, but I think he's done more good than bad. Do you think if Georgie were in office anything at all would be done? If McCain won? Bleh, we'd be lucky if we got a tax deduction.

"Can anyone think of one good reason why we have to take this crap from the insurance industries, corporations, financial institutions and so on?"

Who has the money?

[0nePumpChump]

@lilyanneisme

He hasn't screwed us worse than Georgie Boy.

He has maintained almost the precise level of screwing that Georgie Boy left off with. That's better than another term of digging the hole deeper. But yeah, it is disappointing.

We voted for change and we got stasis. There hasn't been a president so in love with the status quo in my lifetime.

[BankScamTakeover]

So, the same program of wars, debt, enslavement, bailouts, torture, suppression of civil rights and free speech, endless corruption, crooked senators and lobbyists, poisoning of water supplies, executive control and further enslavement of the people continues, even after all the used-car salesman slick-talk about change? The US falls for another scam. Land of the sheep, home of the slave.

[DefenceSpeech]

Bernie tried his best, so now it's your turn to serve this fine country Mika and give him some of your warm Polish holiday pie.

[WindHarps]

You have been one of my heroes. However, health care is not going to be "Provided"; citizens will be Forced, through an Individual Mandate, to provide a policy - for themselves - whether or not they can afford one - or face being labeled a criminal. Additionally, they will be Forced into spending 8% of their incomes. Yet, somehow, this is not raising taxes on those making less than $250,000? As far as Access, of course millions more will have that - since they will have No Other Choice.

[AndroidPolitician]

hey guys, the healthcare bill might suck but the anti-trust enforcements haven't been challenged in either senate or house which is a good sign.

[GoldenSlumbers04]

erby and smhutson, you're both morons and i'm starting to get embarassed that people as ignorant as you are on the left. Bernies part of the destruction?! How so?? 'Cause he introduced a single-payer amendment to this bill?? 'Cause he introduced a bill to cap credit card rates at 15%? 'Cause he introduced a bill to break up the banks? That makes him corrupt?! To say Bernie is part of the destruction is insanity, ignorant people like you are.

[TheLukeStein]

@GoldenSlumbers04 I'd say he's part of a type of destruction. And I like it.

[erby1kabogey9]

Lost a lot of respect for Bernie, just like every other corrupt politician in this fucked up government! Unsubscribe!

[smhutson]

The United Stated of America is finished and you are part of the destruction Bernie.

[bungerman1000]

well aren't you a ray of sunshine!

Is your superb analysis made up in your head or pulled directly from your rectum?

[smhutson]

When Bernie goes on CNBC where 30 people are watching and call out the industry and say government is bought and paid for and not name names then he is part of the problem. So you my friend should get your head out of your rectum.
