SANDERS: WE’RE GOING TO PUT THE PRIVATE INSURANCE COMPANIES ‘OUT OF BUSINESS’
Breitbart ^ | 18 September 2015 | Pam Key

Posted on 09/23/2015 8:37:51 AM PDT by CSM

-snip-

Sanders answered, “What we are talking about now, number one, let’s be clear. We spend far more per capita on health care than do the people of any other country. Thirty million people today have zero health insurance. Millions more are under insured. No one debates that fact. What the story is, is how can you create universal health care for every man, woman and child and do it in a cost and effective way. Other countries do it. The United States of America can do it. Now, I know the private insurance companies don’t like this idea, we’re going to put them out of business. And the drug companies that are ripping off the American people and charging us the highest prices in the world, don’t like the idea. Tough luck.”

It must be time for an election or something! Seems that the Democrats are admitting that Obmacare has been a complete failure....

It was the Obama goal as well.

Bernie wouldn’t be able to come up with an historical example where centralized decision making led to more efficiency,
because there isn’t one - unless that “efficiency” was in the mass extermination of the populace.

yeah..in their "eat me last" strategy. I still can't understand taking the short term Obamacare carrot despite its long term poison.

Hey Comrade Bernie. Take a guess at how many of your voters are employed by Private Insurance Companies, whom you’ll put out of work.

Always in the plan. If there is ANYONE who didn’t realize this was the ultimate goal, they must be living under a rock. Nationalized healthcare is a DISASTER wherever it is implemented. Just another peg in the takedown of our once free and once great country.

Publicly owned companies make most decisions based on the 6 month stock horizon.

Bernie needs to gracefully step back from the microphone...exit the stage and retire.

Sadly America II*...is likely to support this sort of MESS.

Hey Bernie, the sixties are calling, they want you back.

Go write another perverted book about your rape fantasies you sicko.

Because the government has proven to be so efficient and cost effective in all their other works...

Look up “Risk corridor” and current profits. There’s a reason all of those insurance execs showed up at the White House for a photo op to support ACA.
