Omg when she said the debt collectors were calling at his funeral i started crying. This is disgusting and predatory.

To end my medical debt crisis, I had to declare bankruptcy. There was NO way I could pay the $540,000 hospital bill when my youngest was born 2 months premature. This bill was after insurance covered 80%.

What a LOUSY country for medical!!!

Medicare for all!

I love you Bernie!❤ I wish you were our President 😢❤😊

Can we not call patients in need of health care "consumers" anymore? Health care should be a right, not for profit. Just like we wouldnt call disabled people "disabled rights consumers", neither should anyone exercising rheir rights ever be referred to as "consumers" of their rights.

Thankyou senator Sanders, God bless you and family. 🇮🇪🇪🇸🇹🇷🇳🇴🇿🇦🇮🇪🍀🍉🇵🇸🙏🌈🕊️🪧

I have a heart condition and now have horrible credit because i couldn't pay the absurd bills after a heart attack even with the insurance i pay 4k a year for. So now i cant get a house or a car loan

I love Dr. Chino and thank her from the bottom of my heart.

The solution is well known, Affordable comprehensive universal healthcare like that of more than 30 countries. The private healthcare monopoly pays the Congress to hold these Blah Blah sessions to delay and avoid talking about the solution

We need single payer healthcare, like European countries. In the USA, the entire medical industry makes a profit when you're sick and need medical attention, so our food, medicine, anything we consume is made to keep us sick. Whereas in European society the medical system loses money when you're sick, so everything they eat and consume is geared for health and a healthy lifestyle is promoted and rewarded. Their system only saves money when their citizens are healthy. I had to see an ENT for hearing aid fitting, the ENT looked in my ears, said I needed another hearing test, billed Medicare $675 and was paid $515 fir just looking in my ears, I had to have 2 more appts for that hearing aid fitting. My last hearing test was 4 weeks before, the ENT demanded another one. Now they turned me over to collections saying I owe an additional $118.

That 340b program absolutely contributes to medical debt. Allowing hospitals to charge exorbitant charges for medications that they get at a discount simply pushes debt onto patients.

Thank you, Bernie 4:05 and professionals for speaking up for us on high medical/ hospital bills in which some people are not going to get help because they do not treat them or they do not have the money.🔥💚💙👍🏻👍👍🏽👍🏿😥

I am currently being called multiple times a day every day, even weekends, over the hospital bills i got from child birth. This is why i was strongly considering just giving birth at home without pain management or a doctor nearby to help. Now i don't know what to do. I mean, I'm a sahm with no money, no car, no job etc. If they sue me, what would they even be sueing for? I have nothing. Surely they must know this. Why are they harassing the poorest people in the country?

My husband died recently. I lost him and his income. I ended up having three major surgeries and hospitalized 3 times, December to May. My bills are now coming in. I am scared. I did nothing wrong. I just lost medical coverage because I was on my husband's plan. Trying to figure this out. I need a plan I can afford going forward, and I have to figure out how to pay off all the copays. The bills are phenomenal. I am trying....I am back at work but I don't make enough to cover it all.

Bernie should run again fr!!

I've seen this video over and over and I haven't even watched it. I feel pessimistic.

Bernie's you are a good men and Jesu's love you and I love you to🕊🙏🌬⚡🏹🌹🌲🕊💖☀

America has lost it's humanity!

Dr. Bai is right on point on what needs to be done to start fixing the system that's producing this problem. This is a Congressional Policy Failure Matter. Policies in favor of Insurance and Big Pharma. But what strikes me most of all about this Lip Service Hearing are the empty seats on the Senator side of this chamber. There are more witnesses than there are Senators here. That should give us a clue as to where Congress' priorities lay.

I have had to raid my retirement funds to pay dental bills

I have United Healthcare care as i have not for 10 years. I went through cancer which they did not want to pay for. Onky The Hospital told them they would suing them for muder if they did not. Well they paid, now from chemo radiation it messed up my right shoulder tearing the muscles. Went out if town to a specialist who was in their coverage. Only the day of my appointment I was told that untied Healthcare took them out. Surgeons said they do it all the time. They scheduled me for surgery on the 23rd of this month. They told me they would call Insurance and if they would not cover. They would find a specialist they trust that is covered. Only there's no way to say they will be tye day of surgery. I can not move my right arm, if I could afford the $50,000 for the surgery I would pay. Yet i xan not and should not have to. I have no credit after going through cancer because they reprted over $100,000 stating i owed.

Thanks for the update.I really appreciate the dedication in each video you post.The first step to successful investing is determining your goals and risk tolerance, To be successful in markets, traders should understand the crossover between asset classes & liquidity flow.. You have changed my entire life and I continue to preach your name. Now I can say that thanks to Ms. CLARA BURN I am improving my understanding of this whole world and making new big profits every week.

Why don't you put co-pays on other medical under welfare medical to help us out on this

Instead of defunding the police what should have been done was a massive defunding of all levels of the judicial department. They are fat with greed. The USA is going from being the most tyrannical country which imprisons more citizens than any other country; despite its wealth suggesting those monies are the root cause of evil here. We are a military and prison industrial complex which has excessive costs to be cut right at the military & justice departments. Per the National Institute of Corrections there are 10.35 million people incarcerated worldwide of which we incarcerate the most of any country with 2.2 million and we are no where close to being the largest country. For additional reference: China has the largest population of people but statistically has a higher freedom rating due to their low percentage of population to imprisonment rates. We have again 2.2M incarcerated out of 335.9M population VS China population of 1.425 BILLION with only 1.6M incarcerated. That only happens if the system is corrupt. You can’t tell me Americans are just that messed up - this is suffrage at astronomical levels - more so when looking at the demographics of those in jail. Look at Florida for example where the government imprisons many people suffering from mental health disabilities and it fails to provide adequate health care coverage to them. They imprison those in Florida the populations deems mentally inadequate and it’s a sick practice occurring across USA.

Shameful!!

Kafkaesque!! America knows about punishing and shaming before any other constant. We know not mercy. 😮

Medicare for All

Yes😁😁

Potus Harris now.

Right now most company's Seem to pay 80% of the premiums. Imagine letting them write off 20% more and Healthcare Premiums Vanish? Effectively putting Thousands in Average Americans Pockets instantly. Talk about breathing room.

Dr.'s are only consultants each and every one of us is ultimately responsible for our own health. I do not go to the Doctor or Hospital as I know I cannot afford to pay even though I got Medicare and Tri-care.

“The Crime of Getting Sick”

❤

WHY are we not removing the PROFIT-MOTIVE, for providing us (WE THE PEOPLE)..... the BEST care available... FOR FREE.... It should be a part of what each of us has... FOR BEING an American Citizen ! We should NOT be making money from our fellow human beings' illnesses, and life needs, (Medically-speaking)!. like some CATTLE, or something !...

🇺🇸✊🇺🇸

PLEASE START RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT DOG

Don't you want to save America by announcing your candidacy for President of the United States of America

I'd still vote for you Bernie!

The main problem is we need to find a way to make Americans more intelligent. If a bill isn’t in your name you don’t have to pay. Go to non profit hospitals. They have to provide free care to uninsured. Use the hills-Burton act.

It was due to vaccine. It was due to being such a poor country. 😊

Avoid such mmm.mmmkmmm.,,.

Take it away from the military. ($$$) Take it away from the Corporatistas. (Corporations/Wall Street) Please define “Government Supported, .org.” Tell me just how much is being covered, before you blame the recipients. Tell me what the employee count is vs what is actually needed. Tell me what everyone is (NOT) getting paid. Tell me how the level of employment from the ground up is actually being met. As s result, not just in terms of wualitydo to having to many needs to meet for the staff from the ground up, but their skills per their tasks vs their actual positions. Nice try Dr Bull$hitter. How you live with yourself is completely and utterly beyond me.
