HEALTHCARE

"Americans should not have to live in fear that they will go bankrupt if they get sick." ~ Sen. Bernie Sanders

"As a nation, we continue paying far more per capita for health are than any other nation." ~ Sen. Bernie Sanders

"As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Medicare, it is important that we defend this enormously important program rather than talk about ending it...The time has come also to say that we need to expand Medicare to cover every man, woman and child as a single-payer, national healthcare program."
~ Sen. Bernie Sanders
"At a time when 35 million Americans lack health insurance, Planned Parenthood clinics all over the country provide the care too many women cannot access elsewhere."
~ Sen. Bernie Sanders
"Despite the modest gains of the Affordable Care Act we have 30 million people who still have no health insurance, and more importantly, millions more are underinsured with high copayments and high deductibles."
~ Sen. Bernie Sanders

"Health care must be recognized as a right, not a privilege. Every man, woman and child in our country should be able to access the health care they need regardless of their income. The only long-term solution to America's health care crisis is a single-payer national health care program."
~ Sen. Bernie Sanders

"Income and wealth inequality is a matter of life and death. In 2008, college-educated white men had life expectancies of 14.2 years longer than black men with fewer than 12 years of education. The rich get rich and are living longer. The poor get poorer and, in many cases, are dying younger. We need a national health care program which guarantees health care for ALL."
~ Sen. Bernie Sanders

"It is not utopian thinking to say that every man, woman and child should have access to health care as a right." ~ Sen. Bernie Sanders

"It is not utopian thinking to say that every man, woman and child should have access to health care as a right." ~ Sen. Bernie Sanders

"It is unacceptable that the monthly cost of cancer drugs has more than doubled over the last ten years to $9,990. In the United States of America, you should not be forced into bankruptcy for being diagnosed with cancer."
~ Sen. Bernie Sanders

Medicare is more cost-effective than private insurers, and could serve as the foundation for a single-payer system.
~ Sen. Bernie Sanders
One out of five Americans who don't have a doctor and get a prescription, cannot afford to fill that prescription.
~ Sen. Bernie Sanders

"Shamefully, the United States remains the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care to all people. The United States must move toward a Medicare-for-all single-payer system. Health care is a right, not a privilege."
~ Sen. Bernie Sanders

"Stripping funding for Planned Parenthood would punish the 2.7 million Americans, especially low-income women, who rely on its clinics for affordable, quality health care services including cancer prevention, STI and HIV testing and general primary health care services."
~ Sen. Bernie Sanders
"The skyrocketing prices of prescription drugs are an example of the web of bureaucracy and red tape in the American health care system. What we need is a national health care system that puts people ahead of profits and health ahead of special interests."
~ Sen. Bernie Sanders
"The United States should join every other major nation and recognize that health care is a right of citizenship. A Medicare-for-all, single-payer system would provide better care at less cost for more Americans."
~ Sen. Bernie Sanders
