What do you mean “working on”? You’ve been in Congress for 80 years and you’re just now “working on” it?

I buy my own medical insurance and the monthly premiums are staggering. Well north of $1000. But when Mrs. Henkster had cancer, her treatments cost somewhere around $750,000. After the $6000 deductible, insurance paid every dime without any problem. That’s what its for. Things cost money and if you manage your money right, you do well. If not, you do poorly. Bernie the socialist wants to punish success and reward failure.

More FredocRAT sleight of mouth. He just wants to transfer the bills to others. At exorbitant prices.

Yo, Bern, bankruptcy IS cancelling debt. It gives you the chance to start over.

C’mon Bernie, go for the trifecta:
-Eliminate student loan debt
-Eliminate medical debt

the next one is to eliminate credit card debt. You can do it Bernie, just wave your arms around like a madman, look grumpy and say “I have another plan I’m working on, to eliminate all credit card debt”.

I’m voting for Bernie! Bernie promises to eliminate all responsibility. Everything will be free. Bernie is the only one who will usher in utopia when everyone will feel the Bern!

Talk about left field...

Let’s see the hard and believable numbers on how this will be paid for. “Taxing the rich” is BS and doesn’t count.

With Biden we cure cancer and no doubt everything else!

Why bother with Bernie? Biden can just add this to his ideas too!

Can the old line democrats not see these candidates as the pimps they are?

I can only hope the "swing" voters will see through the pandering, obsequious promises RAT candidates are making.

I think there are exactly TWO issues the Democrats tend to be on the right side of.

One of them, Trump took right away from them. He 100% took it away from them.

Trade, and China. Trump 100% is in the right on trade, and China.

100%

OTOH, US medicine is insanely expensive. Just nuts.

Trump seems just AOK with that. Now if I had to choose one issue for Trump to stand up for America on, I am 100% for Trump picking Trade as the big issue.

But US medicine costs are completely insane. Just nuts.

Unfortunately I think this issue will be a good one for Bernie.

Just my view.

I know, I will get clobbered with negative comments for this. I apologise to Jim Thompson ahead of time, and will not get into any back and forth on this issue simply because I (really) like this website. A lot.

But this issue could win over a very large section of Americans.

I think.

See where this is going. Not free houses but government guaranteed payment of mortgages and bails out banks when home-”owners” default. Colleges charge exorbitant tuition, ever increasing, and government will pay the defaulted loans. Now health care will also not be “free” but paid by us to the greedy hosptials which do not try to control costs.

Wealth distribution via fleecing the workers and taxpayers.

Bernie the socialist wants to punish success and reward failure.

Excellent summary.

When it comes to medical care, pretty much everyone wants all the medical products and services they choose to consume at no cost to themselves or a cost that does not require them to sacrifice other preferences.

I'm fond of pink fluffy unicorns, myself - I have a 7-year-old daughter - but I don't believe in them.

Bernie is telling you his view on debt.

He does not want to pay it.

That means he will not want to pay the federal debt either.

Default.

Remember that word.

What happens when you default is you can’t borrow again for a long long time.

Imagine a federal government unable to borrow money.

Guess that would shrink .gov in a hurry!

See—Bernie is a Freeper but does not know it. ;-)

Your comment on what people “want” is accurate.

They “want” “free” health care—which means they want their unlimited health care paid for by someone else.

That is what they want.

We get it.

I want to win Powerball tomorrow.

I really do.

If Bernie will do it for me, why not, I will vote for him too. ;-)

"Because doctors and nurses and medical staff all want to work for free."

Anytime somebody asserts healthcare as a "right," I will call the person out for supporting slavery for this very reason. By claiming that they cannot be denied healthcare they are asserting ownership of the labor of doctors, nurses, EMTs, pharmacists, etc.

it’s hard to believe there are people stupid enough to follow this moron.

That's WHY he says these things.

At any given time there are 25% to 35% of the public who are always ready to buy into ANY promise of "FREE $HIT!"

Bernie has as much chance of being elected as I have of becoming a member of the British Parliament.
