Bernie Sanders was interviewed recently and he was asked if his Medicare for All plan would include illegal aliens and he said absolutely. That means whether they pay taxes or not, they will receive free medical insurance paid for by you and me.
He says he is going to organize Americans to see this is only fair. I guess I won’t be joining his movement, now or ever. Fortunately, the most radical candidates other than Elizabeth Warren have no chance to win the nomination.
The good thing is the radicals will force all candidates to move far to the left and that will be their undoing.
Vermont Senator and Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders admitted Friday that his Medicare for All plan would cover the nearly 11 million illegal immigrants present in the United States.
Sanders has routinely campaigned on his plan to nationalize the U.S. health care system and provide so-called “free” health insurance to every individual. The plan is estimated to cost more than $32 trillion over the next decade.
“We’re gonna … create a Medicare for All health care system which guarantees health care to every man, woman, and child,” Sanders said during the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials’ (NALEO) presidential candidate forum Friday. “We will organize the American people around the idea that all people in this country have the right to health care.”
The moderator of the event asked Sanders if his plan would apply to illegal immigrants in the U.S.
“Absolutely, absolutely,” Sanders replied. “When I talk about health care being a human right, last time I heard that undocumented people are human beings as well.”
