Decent Health Care is a Human Right – Sen Sanders

[rhett o rick]

Senator Sanders says:

Americans spend about twice as much per capita on health care as almost any other developed nation, but our outcomes are not as good as others that spend much less. We can do better. We must do better.
Today, some 38 million Americans lack health insurance. Many others delay going to the doctor because of high deductibles and unaffordable copayments. While the number of uninsured Americans will go down with the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, widely known as ObamaCare, tens of millions of Americans will remain uninsured.

Our system doesn’t make economic sense, and it certainly doesn’t make moral sense. In a civilized, democratic society, every man, woman and child must be able to get the medical care they need regardless of income.

The goal of real health care reform must be high-quality, universal coverage in a cost-effective way. We must ensure, to as great a degree as possible, that the money we put into health coverage goes to the delivery of health care, not to paper-pushing, astronomical profits and lining CEOs’ pockets.

Stand with Senator Sanders and support universal health care for all Americans.

6. I completely agree, Rhett,

yet you also need a Democratic Senate and House. You need support.

Bernie knew the votes were not there.

To many people sat on their collective butts in 2014. Here on DU, I saw many say they would not vote unless their candidate was progressive enough. I will never sit out a vote, ever! Hey, I held my nose and voted for Coakley here for Governor. Guess what, MA now has another R Governor. Aren't we a proud blue state, we have another Mitt!

So please, any ideas how we can get more Progressive candidates? It won't happen overnight. It is something we have to work at. Still, that said, I will never sit out an election.

thank you for your Op~

11. Hey!

The forces against us are big & powerful. They vote. Ignorance can only be defeated with love & education. In great numbers. The numbers are on OUR side. We must show them through voting and everything else we do offline.

7. Plus 320 million.

All Americans should have universal health care. We're a rich nation. We can afford it.

10. Bernie's right, too bad

he won't be able to beat big money. Met him at the California State Democratic Convention, a couple of years ago. Would love to see him win but reality tells me otherwise.
