Senator Sanders floor remarks before marathon votes on health care reform

Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders argues hours before a series of votes on health care reform that Australia guarantees universal coverage and spends less than the United States per capita, that an amendment to the bill introducing Medicare for all would guarantee healthcare as Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Japan and every other industrialized country understands healthcare as a right of all people, because all get sick and have accidents. Sanders intends to participate in a discussion about why the wasteful and bureaucratic health care system and spending is twice as much per capita as other systems, that dollars should go to doctors, nurses and medicine, rather than advertising, profiteering or dividends of insurance company salaries to reward executives with outrageous compensation packages.
