The U.S. healthcare system should no longer be an embarrassment around the world and should guarantee coverage for all Americans, said the senator.
Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont said the U.S. healthcare system should no longer be an embarrassment around the world and that it should guarantee medical coverage as a right for every American.Sunday morning, Sanders reiterated his calls for Medicare-for-all and told host George Stephanopoulos the time is now to remove private insurance from the Medicare system and replace it with a single-payer program.
"We need more changes in our healthcare system, you talk about a public option many people will not be able to afford a public option," Sanders said Sunday. "By the way, Medicare today is the most popular health insurance program in the country. Private health insurance is not particularly popular," Sanders said."The United States must end the international embarrassment of being the only major country on Earth not to guarantee healthcare for all people as a right."
