Bernie Sanders: Congress Must Address America’s Health-Care Crisis
Almost everyone in America understands that our health-care system is broken, dysfunctional and getting worse.
We spend almost twice as much per capita on health care as any other nation, nearly $13,000, and an unsustainable 18.3 percent of our GDP.
Yet, we remain the only major country not to guarantee health care to all—leaving 85 million uninsured or underinsured. That number has gone up recently as millions have lost the Medicaid coverage that was provided to them during the pandemic.
