LIVE_ Bernie Sanders on the Dangers of Our For-Profit Health Care System

Published | Video Starts at 00:15

We're going to do what is not radical. It's what every other major country does. I live 50 miles away from Canada and Burlington, Vermont. Somehow or another, They [Canada] spend maybe half of what we do, provide health care to all of their people. Their system is not perfect. No perfect system on earth, but it is better than ours and far less expensive than ours. (00:15–26:25)
