[KharmaTrain]

Discuss...

[malaise]

1. Watching

Good Morning :hi:

[KharmaTrain]

3. "This Is A Civil Rights Issue"

Damn I love Bernie! :applause:

Skully is clueless in what he's saying...just reading what his beltway buddies are worried about.

:hi:

[BurtWorm]

2. Hard to understand

how anyone could hear his arguments and not be persuaded.

:patriot:

Bernie Sanders is a great American.

[KharmaTrain]

4. Tonedeaf & Clueless

You can see Skully digging for his soundbites and right wing talking points. He doesn't care what Senator Sanders is saying...more worried about what the lobbyists think and about insurance company profits. This is the mindset we're all facing inside that fishbowl...why logical solutions that can benefit all take a backseat to egos and greed.

5. Where is Greta Brawner when we need her?

:blush:


Or Pedro, anyway. Pedro just listens.

[KharmaTrain]

7. I Thinks She's On Maternity Leave

I love it when someone calls up moaning about how Bernie wants to put the insurance companies out of business and Bernie says "Yes I am"...Skully's eyes did a Tex Avery.

[cali]

9. Wasn't that great? Go Bernie, go.

[malaise]

13. That was priceless

:D

[malaise]

6. Bernie is tearing them a new one

Go Bernie.

8. "I'd rather pass a strong bill with 51 votes than a weaker one with 70-75 votes." It's a civil right

Caller on now talking about GREED. Putting cap on CEO pay.

[chimpymustgo]

10. 'We've got to move away from employer-based healthcare." Need same for streetsweepers and Senators.

[bdamomma]

11. Bernie is a great advocate for the people.

[KharmaTrain]

12. That's What Makes Him Dangerous

He doesn't suck up to the status quo. He shoots straight and inside the beltway that's not how "things are done".

I'm not 100% on a single payer...I, like Dr. Dean, see where insurance companies can be a part of the future...either as an alternative or for umbrella coverage, but the days of insurance companies playing god have to end...everyone should have a right to access to medical care. He's spot on when he calls this issue a civil rights issue.

[BurtWorm]

14. He's absolutely right about the insanity of putting corporations with a profit-motive

in charge of a life necessity like health care. That is not rational. It's as though our policy makers think injury and sickness are nothing but opportunities for profit.

[ensho]

15. Bernie is a Treasure - long may he serve - we need to HELP him

by raising hell until single payer happens
