Jan 2016

There were THREE guests, 2 doctors and another guest from Public Citizen. One doctor is the Head of the Doctors Association that has over 20,000 member and growing. He stated that THEY want AND KNOW that what Bernie's proposing his much more economical and much more fair to everyone. One of the guests made a comment that 1 in 16 people die within a very small period of time (can't remember the time frame, but might be one minute) because they have insufficient or NO Health Care. Each one said that they favored to simply go ALL IN and don't do it incrementally. One of the main reasons they said this besides the fact that everyone will have health is that doing piece by piece still causes outsiders problems. Everyone agrees that Health Care For All is THE VERY BEST way to go. They ALL agree with Bernie and support what he's offering and say it WILL VERY DEFINITELY SAVE more so much more money.

I can't quote word for word, not technical enough to provide links, but I'm sure you can go to his website and see the whole interview for yourself. It's the 2nd half of his program! You might understand better!

I wholly disagree with your characterization of who and what Bernie is proposing. What we have now IS NOT helping "we the people" most people know it, so WHY vote for the same damn thing we have now?? Makes NO SENSE and people are understanding it more and more.
