Bernie The Commie has real connections to Russia. He spent his honeymoon in Russia.

Disqualifying!

Yeah, we all found out how accurate those polls were during the election cycle. Hillary The Corrupt most of all.
Trump 306 to 232 for Hillary The Corrupt.

However, there still are a few who haven't yet learned their lessons about corporate media driven polls!

He just can't help himself. Bernie claims 24 million Americans will be "thrown off" the insured rolls if the Republican Health Care Plan is passed. In Bernie The Commie's defective mind, that means they'll die.

Totally false. Many who have had ObamaCare crammed down their throats will choose to not be insured. That's not "throwing people off health insurance rolls. That's the freedom to choose.

Worse, Bernie can't remember who the defective intellect was that he got that idea from.

Bernie Sanders' curious claim that 'thousands will die' if GOP Obamacare repeal is passed
Rick Moran

Senator Bernie Sanders made the extremely serious claim that "thousands will die" if the GOP Obamacare replacement bill is passed.

His only problem is that he can't recall where he got that information.

Washington Free Beacon:

Sanders made the claim while speaking with CNN's Jake Tapper but could not provide any specific sources that backed his assertion, instead referring to "studies that have been done."

"You've said if this repeal and replace plan goes forward that thousands of Americans will die," Tapper said to Sanders. "Where do you get that estimate from?"

“I get that estimate from the fact that studies have been done that people who do not have health insurance, who do not go to the doctor when they should, who do not go to the hospital when they need to go, in fact die," Sanders said. "And thousands of people die every year because they don't have health insurance. And if you throw 24 million people off of health insurance, there is no doubt that many thousands of people will die."

Sanders was referring to the House Republicans' proposal to replace the Affordable Care Act, which the Congressional Budget Office said on Monday would reduce the number of insured Americans by 24 million in a decade.

Tapper also asked Sanders about insurance companies that are refusing to participate in the Obamacare exchanges in many states because the system is too expensive, leading to less coverage options and higher costs for many Americans. The CNN host asked whether these developments are the fault of Democrats because they passed Obamacare.

"No, I think what the American, look, what you're saying is true," Sanders replied. "No one, certainly not me, that the Affordable Care Act, Obamacare, has many serious problems."

"Deductibles are too high, premiums are too high, we still have too many people who don't have any health insurance," Sanders said. "It's too complicated, it's too bureaucratic."

Incredibly, Sanders appears to have made a better argument than any Republican so far for Obamacare repeal.

Whenever I hear someone start an argument with the phrase "studies show..." the first questions that comes to mind is which studies? Conducted by whom? What was the sample size, the methodology?

Invariably, the exact provenance of "studies show..." is never mentioned.

It's an appeal to authority without the authority being identified. This breaks all the rules of debate but when you're spouting political talking points, it works fine.

The fact is, even with an Obamacare insurance policy, the deductible is usually so high that most people will refuse to go to the doctor, or the hospital, or seek treatement anyway. It's a myth that those with insurance are always better off than those without it.

Sanders has ALWAYS called for improving the ACA. It was an opening shot meant to be improved on but careful to butter up insurance companies and republicans (after all it is not far from Romneycare izzit?) To get it passed.

The ACA could be so much better if Congress had tweaked it out instead of wasting all these years voting to repeal while,sitting on their arses otherwise.

One of the reasons,Boehner left was because he knew Repair would be far better for everyone than repeal and replace.

Im no fan of Boehner but I respect his calling out the puppeteer purse holders, and his rare but persistent moments of honesty.. even about his own failings

Some people think laws should be written by just one sector of the population, but there are 300 million of us, buddy.. with many different needs and preferences.

Your Leninist dictatorship wants to trash the whole thing.. and all the people caught in the grinders are just marks on paper to them.

Its laughable that after 9 years of catcallung O as a Marxist your hero and his mastermind are following the Lenin blueprint.. the one that really does call for dictatorship and bloody revolution.

Goodbye ObamaCare and good riddance.

Under ObamaCare:

"If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.

If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan.

ObamaCare will save the average family $2500 per year in insurance premiums."
