Bernie Sanders

50,000 Americans will die unnecessarily every single year.

But that's not all.

As a result of that same terrible piece of legislation, over 20 million Americans are going to see on average a doubling of their health insurance premiums through the Affordable Care Act.

In my state of Vermont just the other day, people received notices from insurance companies that their health care premiums in some cases would triple or quadruple.

And that is going on all over the country.

At a time when we already pay by far the highest prices in the world for healthcare, millions of Americans are gonna see outrageous increases in their healthcare premiums, which they cannot afford.

And why is that happening?

Why are the Republicans making a broken healthcare system, a dysfunctional healthcare system, even worse?

Why are they bringing our healthcare system to the verge of collapse?

We all know the answer.

We all know the answer.

It was to give a trillion dollars in tax breaks to Mr. Musk, Mr. Bezos, Mr. Zuckerberg, Mr. Ellison, and the rest of the 1%.

Let me raise a question that I have been asked over and over again.

Bernie, great ideas, but how are you going to pay for them?

Great question.

Thanks for asking.

And here is the answer.

At a time when the wealthiest people in America have never, ever had it so good.

At a time when billionaires are paying an effective tax rate lower than a truck driver or a nurse.

Yes, the top 1% and large profitable corporations will pay their fair share in taxes.
