Bernie Sanders calls for eliminating all medical debt at South Carolina event

[healthmyths]

Bernie Sanders is never going to be president.

And he knows this, so he spends his time trying to highlight things that are a problem in our country. We have a great system if you have the money and the insurance, but get sick in-between insurance and you can be fucked for life.

A co-wroker's boyfriend was diagnosed with Crohn's disease when uninsured. An ER visit, where he found out he had it, and 4 days in the hospital has left him with a bill he will not be able to pay off if he lives to 80. Add to this the treatments and meds necessary and his whole life is now tied to getting sick at the wrong time.

Again... subjective, singular, isolated, one of a kind story. I really get tired of people using anecdotal, one off examples and then say "it happens all the time"! Geez... quit using one-off, personalized subjective i.e. "a co-worker's boyfriend". Please think before using anecdotal one off experience and make it sound like it "happens all the time"... IT DOESN"T happen all the time!

I guess I could instead be like you and stick my head in the sand and pretend it is not a problem...but I do not choose to live in ignorance

Do Medical Bills Really Bankrupt America's Families?

So why then do you defend the lawyers that according to the following survey In March 2009, Jackson Healthcare invited 124,572 physicians to participate in a confidential online survey in an effort to quantify the costs and impact of defensive medicine. Over 1,400 physicians spanning all states and medical specialties completed the survey, a 1.13 percent response rate.
$1 Trillion a year in wasted defensive medicine expenditures...all because physicians don't want to be sued!

 

[healthmyths]

The plan, which the Sanders campaign says would cancel $81 billion in existing past-due medical debt and make changes to the 2005 bankruptcy bill, is not expected to be released in its entirety for another month. The proposal -- which is still in the works, separate from the senator's "Medicare for All" plan and meant to address debt under the current system -- does not explicitly state how Sanders will eliminate medical debt, but says, "under this plan, the federal government will negotiate and pay off past-due medical bills in collection that have been reported to credit agencies."

Now Bernie ONLY says half of the FACTS regarding TARP program.
FACT is the entire $632 billion was either NOT used or was paid back with a $107 Billion profit to the government! But Bernie says the $81 billion paid by government will be paid back HOW???

If you don’t think billionaires and the corporations they control don’t receive sweet heart deals from Uncle and often get bailed out when they screw up, then we really can’t debate this any further.

Just eliminate the war department (currently misnamed the Defense Department). Sell all foreign war installations and the pentagon too. Real estate in the Imperial Capital is very expensive. Cut the war budget to match China’s. Eliminate most of the navy, since we only need to monitor the seas just off our shores.

Huge money generated! Then make sure the liars in our political class aren’t allowed to take us to war EVER.

When failed former President Barack Hussein Obama removed all our troops from Iraq, who filled the vacuum? ISIS and Russia which forced him to concede his massive error and returned our troops.

Who do you see filling the vacuum, around the World, if your fantasy was realized?

BO was an awful potus, like nearly all of them. However, Iraq isn’t our problem or any of our fucking business. No need to fill the vacuum. That is just jargon for the war pigs.
