Sanders screwed you guys over and gave you Trump. You can whine all you want about "crooked" Hillary but in his heart of hearts Sanders knew it was over after New York but he just had to "carry on" till the convention to prove a point. Now the United States is further than ever from single payer thanks to Sanders. If Sanders was so great why could he not convince me? And by extension millions of others like me.

Oh have a nice day Bernie Bros have I made you guys upset? Get over it.

We have gotten over it - the 64 dollar question is will America get over it or will the Democrats have to come in and clean out the stables again. Maybe we need another Hercules.

Little will improve our healthcare system until a comprehensive overhaul of the costs are addressed. Little chance of that happening until the greedy b@sterds suck us dry.

Other countries are able to negotiate rates with positive results, not this country!

This is true.

Doctors, hospitals, drug companies, medical supply providers, etc. all grossly overcharge for their goods and services. And our bought and paid for Politicians enable them.

Senate Republicans Block Proposal to Lower Prescription Drug Prices
http://www.sanders.senate.gov/newsro...on-drug-prices

Quote:
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 – Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) proposed an amendment Tuesday to lower the cost of prescription drugs by letting Medicare negotiate drug prices and allowing for the importation from other countries of low-cost prescription drugs – both proposals advocated by President-elect Donald Trump.

Republicans blocked the Sanders amendment.

If Trump is the guy you want him to be this is the type of issue he could use to build a working coalition when the new Congress is seated.

Of course it's an IF.

Just like it is with any elected official before they take office.

Unlike the bots here, I'm not writing him off prematurely.
