A corporation does not vote. They simply buy congressmen and senators. I cannot believe you fail to see this. Why do you think medicines are so expensive in the USA and cheap in the rest of the world? The Pharma industry owns congress! But, more importantly why do you defend this.
Odd, I thought Obamacare was going to fix this. Did you support Obamacare? I didn't. (P.S. Sanders said he didn't either but yet he sadly voted for it).

Everybody knows the stock market is artificially high, so what is your point?
I ask again: Do you think Bernie Sanders is correct on this issue?
No I don't. I'm still going to vote for him for other reasons.
I'll ask you again, why do you vote for Congressmen and Senators you believe are bought off?

Obama care is a piece of crap. The only real solution for any advanced country is a national Health Care Plan. I am not talking about a welfare program. I say let the private insurance industry compete with a National Plan and we will see the premiums come down.

A win by Bernie Sanders will likely cost me a lot of money since I am in that top 1%, but as i said i really don't need anything else in this life. I never saw money as most people do.
I generally do not vote because in my state the same people always win. And I hate to be call to serve as a juror.

Sou you partially answered your own question.

Not unless that national plan actually reduced the cost side which no politician has been willing to do yet....

Jury duty isn't generally based on only voter rolls.
The salary of doctors has been going down for years and in 10-20 years most will be employees of the big corporations that see medicine as a cash cow.
Compensation of primary care physicians continues to outpace that of their specialist counterparts rising nearly 3.6% last year to $241,273, according to the 2015 provider compensation report from the Medical Group Management Association.
Though specialists make much more than their primary counterparts with their total compensation rising to $411,852 in 2014, the rate of increase was only 2.39% from 2013, according to MGMA, the largest organization of doctor practices in the U.S.
Besides this, THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU BROUGHT UP!!! Why is it no one is willing to discuss things honestly? You questioned the pharmaceutical industry, not doctors so why bring up doctors?

Reducing costs requires cheaper drugs, less litigation, and coop clinics owned by patients and not by corporate America.
Folks also need to understand there is no need to spend a million dollars so grandma can live an extra six months.
And there is no need for the BIG three insurance companies to make BILLIONS in profits.
Outside of the fact that I have no desire to own a clinic, I don't disagree and have said this many times.
