Bernie Sanders: 45K Americans Will Die This Year Because They Don’t Have Access to a Doctor (VIDEO)

In the first segment of This Week with George Stephanopoulos, Senators Lindsey Graham and Bernie Sanders were on to discuss health care. Leaving aside the fact Graham laid down a brilliant case against the current monstrosity of a bill, self-avowed socialist Sanders proclaims that 45,000 Americans are going to die this year because they can’t see a doctor.

Really, Bernie. Forty-five thousand. Can you please tell me where that number came from? Oh, yeah, probably from the same place that claims the U.S. Healthcare system is the WORST in the world!

Honestly, can’t these idiots come up with some new talking points besides “we are the only industrialized country, blah, blah, blah”? Yap, yap, yap all you want, but the American public really knows the truth.

This “reform” is going to do nothing more than raise taxes, raise current insurance premiums, and force more people onto the public dole. Although according Sanders, that’s what he’d really prefer – single-payer Medicare for everybody.

How scary is that?

Hmm… interesting. Every once and while when I have a bit of free time I visit some of these little rightwing blogs to see what's happening. I think of it as keeping tabs on people I would never tolerate in person. When you say the American public knows the truth, I assume that means the “truth” is that U.S, healthcare is great? On what basis do you imply this? And on what basis do you imply that liberals claim U.S. healthcare is the worst in the world? None, I see. The facts—which are not disputable—tell us that U.S. healthcare is among the least efficient and effective in the industrialized world. That's just true. Sorry. You say you're tired of the “industrialized country blah blah blah,” which I guess means you'd rather the U.S. be compared to countries like Guyana and Laos? How sad is that? Wah, comparing the U.S. to its peers isn't fair! Wah, I'm tired of the “industrialized country” stuff, let's give the U.S. some competitors it can actually beat, like Losotho! Hey, we won! USA! USA! We beat Losotho! We rule!
