20 Week Wait Time? Who cares! Bernie Sanders STILL Praises Canada's Healthcare System

Is the healthcare debate over? No. Far from it. Many have mixed reactions to everything that went down on Friday. (In case you haven’t heard, Speaker Ryan pulled the GOP’s healthcare bill, per President Trump’s request.) Republicans failed to rally around a single plan. I’m not sure if I’d characterize it as a failure. If it passed, I wouldn’t have described it as a success. Besides, part of the deal making process is knowing when to walk away, right?



The bill was incomplete, and we had every right to have our reservations on the three phase plan. When a politician says, “We’ll get to that later,” they usually don’t.



I don’t think President Trump was incredibly excited about this bill anyway. I know he did his share of arm twisting, but I’m not sure if his heart was in it.



The plan forward remains unclear. It looks like the Trump administration is going to switch gears and focus on tax reform and let Obamacare implode. I have no idea if that’s the right move. All I know is, Republicans had seven years to figure this out. Seven. Years. And here we are.



Democrats are dancing in the streets, touting the glories of Obamacare. They’re so glad. (I’m not sure who we’re going to blame when Obamacare implodes. The Democrats for shoving it through in the first place, or Republicans for failing to replace it.) Some admit it needs some changes, but they all know the end game. Obamacare was designed to fail. It’s a means to an end, the end being a single-payer system. Don’t you so want that? Bernie Sanders does!
