Sanders: 'Thousands of people will literally die' if Trump 'gets his way' on health care

BY MICHAEL BURKE - 03/31/19 11:04 AM EDT

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said Sunday that "thousands of people will literally die" if President Trump can successfully do away with the Affordable Care Act, also known as ObamaCare.

“If Trump gets his way, the cost of health insurance ... will be so high that many people literally will not be able to afford it. Thousands of people will literally die. That’s Trump’s health insurance plan," Sanders said during an interview on CBS's "Face the Nation."

“My plan is just a little bit different. I think we should join the result of the industrialized world, guarantee health care to all people as a right," Sanders added.

Sanders, who is seeking the Democratic nomination for president in 2020, was an early proponent of "Medicare for All." He said Sunday that he plans to introduce his newest Medicare for All plan "within the next couple of weeks."

"When we do that, what we understand is that it is just not acceptable that 30 million Americans have no health insurance and even more are underinsured with high deductibles and high co-payments," he added.

You keep promising they’ll show up, and yet somehow, they just keep running away.

...in WH and republican gop --even if it means their base is affected--they frankly don't give a damn. Sanders is right to go for the whole enchilada...I've hear other candidates for instance Senator Klobuchar this morning say--shoring up ACA first is best, incremental changes. I say go big or go home.
