In ‘Unity’ Platform With Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden Paves Way For Socialist Medicine

The “unity task forces” assembled by presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his primary competitor and avowed socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) recently issued their report. The policy recommendations, released ahead of next month’s Democratic National Convention, speak to how far the party has moved to the left, even under the supposedly “moderate” Biden.

On health care, the fact that the task force failed explicitly to endorse a single-payer system does not make its policies much less radical. Compared to the policies of Barack Obama — the man under whom Biden served as vice president, and whom Biden uses as a virtual lodestar — the Dems’s platform would massively expand the government’s role in health care while paving the way for a single-payer system over tim

For a variety of reasons, nationalization of hospitals and some type of single-payer system is inevitable.

Pretty clear choice; socialism or capitalism, anarchy or law and order, world leader or buckle under to communist China.

Government run healthcare is the ultimate wet dream for the Neo-Feudalist elites giving them complete cradle to grave control over their subjects...

When the Feds are totally in charge of your health, We, the People will find out how much healthcare we won’t be getting. I guarantee the Leftists will find a way to deny medical care to those who aren’t onboard with their political point of view. And then they will start denying medical are to those who DO AGREE with them. It is the only way to ‘save THEIR (Leftists all agree that your money is actually THEIR MONEY) money’. Nobody will like Gov Healthcare, but it IS the goal of the Left. When you control healthcare, you control the PEOPLE (was that Stalin or Lenin?)

I’m still trying to figure out why the DNC dumped Bernie as the nominee for being “too socialist”, while settling on senile Biden running on the same platform as Bernie.

Sleepy Joe realizes that he’ll never get close to the White House without the Bernie Bros.

The man is truly and empty vessel.

Exactly. If anything Bernie may have been a more dangerous candidate to face than Dementia Joe. It’s all about the establishment keeping their perks and positions of power. There’s not a dime’s worth of difference amongst any elected RAT when it comes to policy, but the entrenched, long-time establishment folks like Pelosi and Schumer want to stay in the penthouse while keeping AOC and Comrade Sanders in the basement apartment!

Biden was Obama’s VP, and he and Obama rammed their healthcare bill through without any significant amendments.

So who is going to ask Biden why we would need another healthcare bill if he already got the one he wanted passed? If he admits that bill didn’t work, then the follow-up question is: why would we trust Biden to pass another healthcare bill if he admits the one he already passed didn’t work?

It was Lenin. “Medicine is the arch over which we will establish socialism’’.

The Biden-Sanders unity platform team includes SEIU president Mary Kay Henry, who organized a Communist coalition to coordinate a "Strike for Black Lives" earlier this week, with Biden's support. Biden is making a hard left to court the Sanders wing of the Democratic Party ahead of the convention.
