Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Bernie Sanders Rips DC Corruption, The Israel Lobby, & Reveals How Billionaires Buy Politicians

outrageously take away the health insurance that you have well what they forget to tell you is that you're not going to be paying any more out-of-pocket any more deductibles any more premiums you're going to get higher wages because your boss doesn't have to spend a fortune on health care to cover you they forgot to tell you that that's like your taxes go up six grand but your health care yearly cost goes from 12 grand to zero that's right you just save six grand

All right. And the health care system, we're going to be going on that one. We're spending twice as much per capita as the people in Sweden who have a better health care system. Why? Well, maybe coincidentally, insurance companies, you know, made, what did they make? $100. I think it made $70 billion last year. Drug companies, the charges, the highest prices for drugs made $100 billion.

So it is a health care system designed to make what? Drug companies and insurance companies rich.

The U.K. is under a lot of pressure right now. And that's true. And that's a political decision. They got the same factors that would impact the state. The big money interests are putting a lot of pressure trying to destroy the UK health care system, and its quality is going down, although it is still a very beloved institution in England. In Canada, there are waiting lines.

It ain't a perfect system by any means. But don't believe all the right-wing stuff. In Canada, if you ask the people in Canada, do they like their health care system as opposed to America's, theirs come out much better.

What he did is say, we're going to give the drug companies a certain period of time to tell us how they're going to lower drug prices. And if they don't, we're going to do A, B, and C. We're not quite sure what A, B, and C will be. But the likelihood is that A, B, and C will be thrown out in the courts because the president doesn't have a right to tell... companies how to fix prices.

Just coincidentally, Bobby Kennedy, the secretary of HHS, was before the committee that I'm the ranking member of. And I asked Bobby and I said, look, the president talks about substantially lowering prescription drug prices. You do. We're going to introduce legislation that will do just that. And will you work with me? He said they will. So to answer your question, the president talks a lot.
