(17,912 posts)think of the CEO's and shareholders of.....Cigna, Aetna, United Healthcare, Humana, etc., etc....
After all they've done to gouge, uh I mean deny, ummm...provide health insurance to millions of Americans, and at costs so high as to be unbelievable in the rest of the industrialized world, THIS is the thanks they get. It's NOT a matter of how many yachts they can ski behind, damn it. It's a matter of fairness. Here they have the bulk of America's populous having to come crawling to Big Healthcare for their very lives in some circumstances, and Bernie wants to blow all that up. Damn it, it's downright unAmerican!
You go, Bernie! It's not much of a stretch to think removing the profits, dividends, costly complexity and inefficiency from basic health care will reduce the overall cost to everyone. It simply makes sense.
