Unfortunately, I’m sure many will take the opportunity to accuse Sanders of being a fan of Mangione and ignoring what he really said, and what his intent was. Such as the state of affairs in political discourse nowadays.
“Sanders, an Independent who caucuses with the Democrats, made the remarks on Meet the Press on Sunday morning.
“What I think has happened in the last few months is that what you have seen rising up is people’s anger at a health insurance industry, which denies people the health care that they desperately need while they make billions and billions of dollars in profit,” the senator told the show’s host Kristen Welker in response to a question about whether now is the right time to be discussing health insurance policy.
Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the murder, allegedly gunned down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on December 4 in New York City. He was arrested days later at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania. At the time, police said they found a handwritten manifesto on him outlining his motive.
“Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy,” Mangione allegedly wrote. He’s been charged with second-degree murder in New York and gun-related charges in Pennsylvania.
While condemning Mangione’s murder, Sanders, who chairs the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, reiterated some of the points made in the alleged manifesto.
“We need to ask ourselves when we talk about health care is why we are the only major country on earth not to guarantee health care to all people, why we have a life expectancy which is significantly lower than in other countries, why working-class people die five to ten years shorter than the people on top,” he said
“I think the time is long overdue for us to guarantee health care to every man, woman, and child, especially at a time when we’re spending twice as much per capita on health care as the people of every other nation.”“
No shit Sherlock?
WTF has Sanders done about it during his decades in DC? Empty barrel make the most noise. Typical DC wanker.
Bernie gets it. Always.
Not just health: car, home, dental and more.
My car insurance is like: no accidents, doing great, so we will reward you by raising your prices.
Then pass some of these great ideas, bernie. Do it – no more talk bern – fuking DO IT or stfu.
Well no shit!
Duh
