Bernie Sanders: Coronavirus Reminds Us Why We Must Guarantee Health Care To All

[Uncle Joe]

32. This is about life and death policy.

Even before the corona virus Americans were dying by the tens of thousands because of our lack of a health care system designed to actually deliver health care so much as make profit, however that was largely all but ignored because the wealthiest and most powerful in our society were never at risk until now because they had "health" insurance or money.

Italy did not have the best health care system in Europe much less the world.

I feel for every health care worker courageously and selflessly placing their own health/lives at risk by healing others during this crisis, it's no less than the military going into combat on a daily basis, but even greater because their own families are also at risk.

I heard the same arguments from Republicans after Katrina drowned New Orleans, now is not the time to talk about global warming climate change, we have a crisis.

I have always believed the American Nation could/should be able to walk and chew gum at the same time.
