[Nachum]

Dirty Bernie

[albie]

Not shocking. He is a socialist and ran on the “socialist” ticket. He has a job for life in the utopian VT.

[proxy_user]

Now you’re talking! As part 2, get rid of medical liability lawsuits.

Now all users of medical care will pay doctors and hospitals directly. This will save enormous amounts of money and bureaucracy.

[abb]

Keep the insurance companies. Get rid of Bernie Sanders.

[clamper1797]

I can’t figure out who’s the bigger idiot ... Bernie ... or the people who vote for him

[DarthVader]

I say Bernie its time we get rid of you.

[mo]

All things private interfere with the all-encompassing ego of the state...

[grobdriver]

to all of our people... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahaha! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

[Paradox]

Indeed, insurance companies are part of the problem. Gov+insurance companies= the mess that healthcare is in.

So in a way, Sanders has it right, even if for the wrong reasons.

[ConjunctionJunction]

“you have to get rid of the health insurance companies, not profiteering AND BUREAUCRACY”

********************************************

Getting rid of private health insurance companies and putting the federal government in charge is somehow going to get rid of bureaucracy??!! ROFLMAO!

[FiddlePig]

For once maybe I agree with Bernie... give Vermont a waiver to completely screw up their healthcare, only condition... repeal national ObamaCare then leave the rest of us the hell alone!

[Sgt_Schultze]

Just how many jobs exactly, is loopy Bernie proposing eliminating?

[Tublecane]

“get rid of all the private health insurance companies”

What insurance companies would we be left with, then? Public ones? DOes that really count as “insurance”?

[riverrunner]

As long as it isn't replaced by public healh care.

The insurance industry doesn't allow the free market to work.

The doctors charge more then the insurance company charges more a vicious circle.

As long as the person who receives the service is not paying prices will remain to high.

[Tublecane]

“Indeed, insurance companies are part of the problem. Gov+insurance companies= the mess that healthcare is in.”

Your equation is faulty. Government is the problem, purely and simply. With or without insurance companies, the government causes a mess. Without government, the insurance companies are fine (or at least as fine as any other company).

[Tublecane]

“So in a way, Sanders has it right, even if for the wrong reasons.”

No, he isn’t. That’s like saying Marx was right because capitalists running government = bad, thus the government should run capitalism. Wait, what? Something’s wrong with thatn line of thought, for sure. Marx’s solution was like putting out a fire by throwing more fire on it. Same with Sanders’.

[snowrip]

Silly Bernie Sanders. What does he think the ObamaCare bill was for?

[P-Marlowe]

At the end of the day, if you are going to provide health care to all of our people in a cost effective way, you have to get rid of the health insurance companies, not profiteering and bureaucracy,”

And when the time comes, you will have to get rid of the old people and those with incurable mental disorders (manifested by their objection to the progressive policies of the benevolent State).

[CodeToad]

“not profiteering and bureaucracy”

1. Competition for profit always brings about the best. Socialist kids like him never understood that. They think, but cannot show, how government is always the answer to everything.

2. Bureaucracy is government. Again, Socialist kids like him never understood that.
