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

[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???

So in other words, if this report is accurate, Bernie's "plan" would FUCK OVER responsible tax payers that paid their bills by forcing them to pay for the bills of the irresponsible dickweeds that didn't....

Who got bailed out during the Great Recession and who didn’t?

Who obtains sweetheart deals from Uncle, if they buy off enough Congress critters?

Have you bothered to educate yourself on income inequality these past few decades? Who is winning big and who isn’t?

Who received much of the stimulus funds Obama gave out?

Stop being a dupe for the elites.

The extreme wealthy have very low tax rates. Why you ask? Because they don’t pay taxes based on salary income. Their wealth is invested in businesses, real estate, stocks, bonds, etc. This shouldn’t be news to anyone.

They even asked to have their taxes increased. Why not oblige them?

The rich and corps have many ways to avoid taxes. However, the rates are high.
That is why I support a federal sales tax and eliminate the income tax.
Plus I think taxing what I earn from my sweat is immoral.

 

[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!

You'll get no argument from me that the cost of health care in America isn't a problem, but Sanders' and others' ideas of nationalization is not the way to solve it.

ONE MAJOR item of health care cost that YOU will not believe because people like you just don't seem to believe it!

Since healthcare is a right, let's force those greedy surgeons to operate on patients for a lower fee.

It's called "Medicare for all".

So you believe healthcare is a right? So Americans have been denied a basic right for 250 years. Deplorable.

It's the least a "Christian" nation should do.

----------

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., told an audience in South Carolina Friday that he is working on legislation that would "eliminate medical debt in this country."

Sanders made the remark during a question-and-answer period following a town hall meeting in Florence on "Medicare-for-All." A female attendee explained to Sanders that she doesn't make enough money to qualify for ObamaCare and has a large amount of medical debt not covered by insurance.

When the woman asked Sanders if he had a plan for that, the self-described democratic socialist told her: "In another piece of legislation that we're offering, we're gonna eliminate medical debt in this country."

The Sanders campaign confirmed to Fox News that the proposal was new, but details were scant.

"We are introducing legislation that would end all medical debt in this country," Sanders told reporters as he departed the town hall. "The bottom line is it is an insane and cruel system, which says to people that they have to go deeply into debt or go bankrupt because of what? Because they came down with cancer or they came down with heart disease or they came down with Alzheimer’s, or whatever ...

"In the midst of a dysfunctional healthcare system, we have to say to people that you cannot go bankrupt or end up in financial duress," Sanders added. "That is cruel and something we've gotta handle. This is something that we're working on and that we will introduce."
