Sanders on Trumpcare: ‘Take This Bill and Throw It in the Garbage’

Senator Bernie Sanders said in a CNN interview tonight that, in its present form, the Trumpcare bill was not going to pass through the Senate.

‘This bill, in its current form is not getting through the Senate, said Sanders.

‘You take this bill, and you, we don’t want to clog up toilets or anything, but you just toss this into a garbage can and start again. This bill is a disaster.’ Remember what he told you, “we are gonna provide healthcare for everybody and it’s gonna be less expensive.” Providing healthcare for everybody is not throwing 24 million people off health insurance.”

‘When you are dealing with legislation that dealing with 1/7th of the American economy, this is huge’, said Sanders.

He added, ‘Don’t you think there might’ve been a hearing or two to discuss the implications of this legislation? These guys put it together in a few weeks time, zero hearings, they didn’t hear from the American medical association, who opposed this legislation. They didn’t hear from the hospitals that opposed this legislation. They didn’t hear from the AARP, the largest senior group in America, who opposed this legislation because it’ll be a disaster for older workers.’

Sanders concluded,’We’re gonna start from zero and hopefully, come up with a legislation that improves on Obamacare. Hopefully, we’ll provide health insurance to all of our people and do it in a more cost effective way.’

      I was for Bernie in the primaries. And for Hillary in the general.

      If she had been elected, I would have been out in the streets with Bernie demonstrating, pushing her to the Left. She has always been responsive to the public, so we probably could have gotten her to go further to the Left.

      But she, or Bernie if he’s won, would have needed a Dem-dominated Congress to get Single Payer health care and to get some kinds of laws to keep drug companies from gouging sick people with unnecessarily high prices.

    I think we can have simple healtcare without tossing hundreds millions dollars into insurance companies-before payin healtcare -for x disease for y person -when it reveals to the healtcare system .

    I think we can have healtcare for everybody without years of confrontations with medical classes , lobbies , without leveraged burocratics and down-the-toilet senators lobbies etc

    I think Sanders should start drink less wine lately because even if now is just in the demolished party , things can get worse fast

    Can’t wait for House Republicans to start explaining how they voted for it but didn’t really support it come 2018 elections. Republicans committed political suicide to save Trump’s honor? Ha Ha Ha.

      No, they did it to continue feeding off the big pharma gravy train which is the opposite of political suicide. Other than the diabolical tea party types no one is going to risk anything to defend Trump’s ass (alas he has no honor to defend – but plenty of ass).

    First challenge facing the Senate; interesting to observe the relationship between Senator McConnell and President Trump. My guess is that he lets VP Pence do the heavy lifting.

    Read those quotes then compare them to a typical Trump segment and it’s obvious the wrong dude got elected. At least Commie Bern can form complete sentences.
