Bernie does have a point here.
“”Sanders did not take questions from reporters about the bill at a press conference Wednesday, but criticized the current healthcare system as one that has allowed “insurance companies and drug companies to make billions of dollars in profits and make industry CEOs extremely wealthy.”

Simple enough solution there. Get the government completely out of medicine. Doctors compete, pharma competes, customers choose, prices go down without artificially propped up “charge books,” and the argument goes away.
It is seductive to view healthcare/medicine as a right, but in reality, it is not. Yes, pharma and the insurance companies are wealthy, but the system they lobbied for on the basis of the seductive view is the main reason. Knock out the props and the market would change. Slowly maybe, with pain definitely, but it would size down.

Bernard is upset because he does not have a piece of the action. How is he supposed to get his 4th house if he keeps getting left out?
Bernie may have a point there, but that point might not be so valid if the Feds hadn’t imposed themselves on healthcare so long ago and demanded that insurance cover more and more....and more and more....etc.....
