Bernie Sanders On Health Care Bill: Thousands Will Die | MSNBC In a compelling interview with MSNBC, Senator Bernie Sanders discussed the urgent implications of a healthcare bill that could potentially leave millions without coverage, emphasizing the severe consequences this would have on American lives. Sanders, who plans to campaign across the nation to rally opposition against the bill, stated that polling consistently shows the American public does not support measures that would strip health insurance from millions. He pointed out the stark reality: “If you don’t have any health insurance and you have a chronic disease and you can’t afford your prescription drugs, you will die.” This statement highlights the gravity of the situation as he accused the current healthcare proposal of leading to preventable deaths for many Americans. Sanders criticized the discrepancies between campaign promises made by President Trump, who vowed to provide healthcare for everyone, and the reality of proposed policies that result in 23 million people losing their insurance. He firmly believes that this is a disaster, arguing that raising premiums and cutting access to healthcare contradicts the promise of comprehensive care. The interview also touched on the broader political climate, where Sanders proposed that the Democratic Party needs to undergo significant changes to effectively represent working families. He reiterated the importance of taking a stand against powerful interests, including Wall Street and pharmaceutical companies, to advocate for the American middle class, who are increasingly feeling the pinch of income inequality. As Sanders mobilizes for action, he appeals to the public to recognize their struggles and fears, urging them to engage in the political process to demand a government that prioritizes their needs over the interests of the elite. This timely discussion invites forum members to reflect on their own experiences with healthcare and the impact of policy changes on their communities.
