Many Democrats are lining up behind Bernie Sanders’ Medicare-For-All bill but there are some notable exceptions. Ana Kasparian, Jimmy Dore, and Ron Placone, the hosts of The Young Turks, tell you who’s not supporting Medicare-For-All. Tell us what you think in the comment section below. https://tytnetwork.com/join/
“House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Tuesday that single-payer health insurance is not a litmus test for Democrats and that she is focused on protecting health-care coverage under the Affordable Care Act.
Pelosi (D-Calif.) declined to endorse “Medicare for All” legislation backed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and instead called on Democrats to release a wide range of proposals to fix and improve President Barack Obama’s signature health-care law. Her position on health care is the latest evidence that Democrats in the House are willing to ignore pressure from liberal factions aiming to drive the party further to the left.
“I don’t think it’s a litmus test,” Pelosi said in an interview. “What we want is to have as many people as possible, everybody, covered, and I think that’s something that we all embrace.”
Pelosi said that she would like a variety of health-care ideas to be vetted and analyzed by budget scorekeepers but that she thinks none of them will succeed while the ACA is under attack from Republicans.”

Comments
Bernie Sanders has proved the majority of U.S. citizens have come to realize private ‘for profit’ Insurance Companies and Big Pharma have sought to slaughter their subscribers by supplying inadequate and/or inappropriate health care; they now understand Medicare for All, as sponsored by Senator Sanders, is the preferred form of medical coverage.
Bernie consistently keeps the best interest of our U.S. citizenry in focus. He realized, early on, the basic health care systems, adopted by most other developed countries on earth, have eliminated ‘for-profit’ insurance and pharmaceutical companies and, instead, provide medical coverage as a “right, not a privilege”, therefore protecting vulnerable subscribers from greed-focused corporations and their systematic money-gouging of vulnerable customers.
Senator Sander’s vision is trustworthy!
Democrats such as Nancy Pelosi are hypocritical sell-outs.
Sincerely,
