Bernie Sanders

As a result of Trump's big, beautiful, disgraceful bill, which made massive cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act,

15 million, 15 million low-income and working-class Americans are going to lose the healthcare they desperately need to stay alive.

And my friends, studies suggest that when you throw those 15 million people off of the healthcare they presently have,

50,000 of them will die unnecessarily every single year.

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.
