 So recently on the program we talked about how Bernie Sanders finally called out Joe Biden because Joe Biden is quite literally shilling for the health insurance industry I mean he takes donations from them and he takes donations from the pharmaceutical industry So Bernie Sanders finally Realized that what he needs to do is take the gloves off once and for all and Attack Joe Biden head on and I applauded Bernie for that But I said he also needs to be more fierce and more direct like name drop Joe Biden more frequently because we need to know Or we need to let the American people know more specifically that this man is not fighting for them He is a show and he's only fighting for his donors I don't think Bernie Sanders is listening, but certainly he did something that I Can applaud that is along what I hoped I would see from him So he created this poll or it really it's a quiz and it says Joe Biden is attacking Medicare for all with the lies straight out of the playbook of Donald Trump Mitch McConnell and the health insurance industry Can you guess who said it? So I haven't taken a look at this So you're gonna see my genuine reaction to this quiz because I'm gonna take the quiz And see if I could pass it But this is exactly what you need to do because this is wholesome trolling you're trolling Joe Biden by getting people to Take a quiz that we'll see if they can distinguish between a quote from Joe Biden Mitch McConnell or Donald Trump Because it really shows you that there's really not that big of a difference between the health insurance industry Republicans And Joe Biden which matters in a Democratic Party primary. So let's go ahead and take the quiz And I'll just say I should probably do relatively good at this quiz because you know I follow politics for a living but Joe Biden has said things that are Indistinguishable from the health industry from Republicans So if Bernie constructed this in a good way, then I will get some of these wrong So the first one quote Medicare goes away as you know it all the Medicare you have is gone See I Believe that Joe Biden just said something like that, but that last sentence there It's kind of It's kind of iffy to me because it sounds like something that Donald Trump would say all the Medicare you have is gone big Lee so That's tough. It's between Donald Trump and Joe Biden But I'm gonna say Joe Biden here Correct fact Medicare for all will expand Medicare to cover everyone and provide the services Seniors need the most including dental care curing aids routine vision exams podiatry and more So not only are you getting the message across that what Joe Biden is saying is comparable to what health industry? Executives are saying and Donald Trump is saying but he's also educating people Bernie. This is this is brilliant. I love it Okay, so let's go to the next question Quote Medicare for all would really be Medicare for none today's Medicare would be forced to die So I actually I feel like I covered this quote on my show before but Medicare for none See, this is tough and I feel like maybe he Is gonna have a lot of Joe Biden's in here since he's trying to drive home the point that Joe Biden Sounds a lot like these health industry executives and Republicans, but it's tough Medicare for all would really be Medicare for none Today's healthcare would be forced to die You know, I'm gonna say that this is something that the United Healthcare CEO David Wickman said no idea if this is correct Incorrect that was Donald Trump. Okay Fact Medicare for all will expand Medicare to cover everyone and vastly improve it by covering dental hearing and vision as well as all other necessary services Okay, so that was Donald Trump. I've got one right and one wrong. Let's continue here Quote 180 million Americans would lose private insurance that many of them negotiated for at work I'm pretty sure Joe Biden said Something exactly like this just a couple of weeks ago. It may not be a direct quote, but he basically said this I'm gonna say Joe Biden Incorrect it was Mitch McConnell Okay, Medicare for all would guarantee healthcare for all and allow Americans to negotiate for higher wages instead of better health benefits All right. Well played Bernie Quote how many of you out there have had someone you've lost to cancer or cancer yourself? No time we cannot have a hiatus of six months a year two three to get something done So Joe Biden definitely said something like this at the Democratic Party debate. So I'm gonna say Joe Biden Correct that was Joe Biden fact under Medicare for all over a 40 over a four-year period We will transition to a system in which Medicare is expanded to cover everyone and end the horror of millions of people going into financial distress Simply because they need care for serious conditions. Okay next question How many of you like your employer-based healthcare? Do you think it was adequate now if I come along and say you're finished You can't have it anymore. Well, that's what Medicare for all does you cannot have it period number one There's a hiatus in between by the way of how long it's gonna take. So just my process of elimination We haven't had any quotes from David Wickman yet So I'm gonna select him, but I honestly have no idea because it could be anyone here It was Joe Biden, okay Okay, fact Medicare for all will free Americans from the greed of health insurance companies that prioritize profits over people's lives There will be no hiatus or lapse in coverage over a four-year period Every American will transition off their current health insurance to Medicare for all now. I should say four years is too long I really hope that Bernie Sanders Bill reaches parody with Prima Legiopals. She has a two-year rollout But what Bernie Sanders did was he allowed Kirsten Gillibrand to write that portion of the rollout So maybe he let her write that and make it a little bit more shittier just so she'd support it But I think Bernie if he were elected would rewrite it so it matches Prima Legiopals Because there's no reason to wait that long and give Republicans that much time Where there's uncertainty about what Medicare for all would look like, you know, and potentially get public opinion to go down Okay, so there's one more question. I really want to ask you I want to try to get this one correct quote I happen to be a proponent of a single-payer universal health care plan I see no reason why the United States of America the wealthiest country and the history of the world is spending 14% of its GNP cannot provide basic health insurance to everybody Okay, this is this one is a little bit tricky Because I happen to be a proponent of single-payer health care, but then they kind of switch it Towards the end to health insurance Oh And they added Barack Obama into the mix I'm gonna say Barack Obama just because that is a new one here Correct that was Barack Obama. So we got a little bit of a switcheroo at the end there You know, he says all these things that Joe Biden said that sounds pretty Republican-y and then at the end He had Obama say he supports single-payer now. We all know that that is horseshit because Obama He didn't even push for a public option, but I see what Bernie's trying to do here. This is brilliant by the way This is absolutely brilliant by the way One other thing that I want him to do is like when Elizabeth Warren she came out with a student loan debt cancellation plan She put up a calculator so you can put your income in and it would tell you about How much of your student debt would be canceled? He should do the same but obviously since he's canceling 100% of student loan debt Every single time the result would be zero zero dollars would be remaining because I think that would be great It's not an attack on Elizabeth Warren. It's just a fact. Okay, so let's just continue I'm assuming this is gonna be about fundraising. It's gonna ask for money because that's what you've got to do Yeah, so before you go if you agree It's time that the United States guarantee healthcare a right for every man woman and child in this country sign Bernie Sanders petition Tell Congress to pass a Medicare for all Single-payer health system so for sighing a petition sure. I'll sign it that email doesn't look valid Oh, I didn't add the comm submit Okay, and then we go to the donation page. I am Enrolled in monthly donations, so I am not going to contribute here, but yeah, that was great Bernie is This was a brilliant move here he is trolling Joe Biden in Not a hostile way in a very wholesome way, and I absolutely love it great move by Bernie Keep it up I want to see more of this and I want to see you rip Joe Biden a new one because it is Warranted for the way that he's been, you know attacking Medicare for all viciously as a blade You could support the humanist report at patreon.com Humanist report, but trust me I'd have way more supporters at patreon if that was my podcast said
