For example, the United States is the only major country on earth that doesn’t guarantee healthcare to all people as a right.

Sheesh! Once again, we find a liberal mistakenly equating health CARE with health INSURANCE! Perhaps Ol' Bernie should acquaint himself with the Federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (1986) which requires the vast majority of emergency rooms to treat anyone needing emergency health care.

Of course, the law has been corrupted so that people, including illegals, who choose not to carry insurance now game the system by flooding emergency rooms with nothing more than a case of the sniffles.

The problem, of course, is that that's just about the most costly possible way of delivering health care to the uninsured, and it does nothing to help people with chronic conditions or long-term problems like cancer.
