Paul Ryan is the official Trump hand puppet. Bernie is much more of a 'problem' for Trump, because his ideas are clearly much more intelligent than Trumps, and much more in line with the interests of the common working class person. Even die-hard Trump supporters are having second thoughts. If the election were held today, Bernie would easily defeat him.

“At a time when we have a massive level of income and wealth inequality, where the rich are getting much richer while the middle-class shrinks, this legislation would provide, over a ten-year period, $275 billion in tax breaks to the top 2 percent,” Sanders explained.

On healthcare itself, Sanders touted his beliefs that “we should join other countries, and guarantee healthcare” to every American. And his argument was convincing — even an ardent Trump supporter backed Sanders’s ideals.

I can't afford private insurance as it stands now. No company wants to and in some cases can't pay it either. It makes more sense for me to pay the penalty for not having it.

Bringing down the cost of insurance to where people like me that make too much for government coverage but not enough to barely pay for daily expenses lose under the current plan.

The other losers are small business owners that can't afford to offer full-time with benefits as the costs are outrageous.

What we've had isn't working people.

Time to open your eyes and see what's happening.

Rich people do not normally have incomes that low. Some older people might have assets for their retirement and be low income.

I think everyone is in general agreement that the system in the United States isn't working.

The question is why we don't adopt a system like the one in foreign nations that seems to provide better outcomes at lower cost. Why do we pretend we're so unique that none of the other countries' experiences apply to us? We pay more for drugs and surgeries and facilities than anybody in the world.
