Bernie Sanders on the Cost of US Healthcare and the US Government Shutdown

He tells us clearly the horrendous cost of US healthcare.

I hope my British visitors are taking note! This is the sort of thing that will happen in the UK if British voters are RECKLESS ENOUGH to vote for REFORM UK and elect Nigel Farage as their prime minister! Nigel Farage wants to get rid of the NHS and adopt an American-style healthcare system here in the UK, bankrupting many people with chronic and terminal illnesses along the way. It is to be hoped that the British electorate will be wiser and more prudent than that. — © Mark Alexander

Was Life Better 50 Years Ago? | Sen. Bernie Sanders

Oct 15, 2025 | Despite huge advancements in technology & worker productivity since the 1970s, wages for American workers have remained stagnant and almost all new wealth has gone to the people on top.

Will it be any different with AI and robotics? I don’t think so. Maybe even worse.

AI Could Wipe Out the Working Class | Sen. Bernie Sanders

Oct 8, 2025 | The artificial intelligence and robotics being developed by multi-billionaires will allow corporate America to wipe out tens of millions of decent-paying jobs, cut labor costs and boost profits.

What happens to working class people who can’t find jobs because they don’t exist?

Bernie Reads Your Health Care Stories | Sen. Bernie Sanders

Oct 4, 2025 | This week, I asked Americans to tell me what a DOUBLING of health care premiums would mean for their families.

Here are just a few of their responses.



I have said it so many times before, but I will say it again… This is the gentleman who should be the president of the USA. He is a man of great experience, great ability, has excellent policy ideas, and has oodles of common sense. And he has a big heart. Being a man of great compassion and understanding, it is a great pity that American voters cannot see how much better their country would be if he were elected president. — © Mark Alexander

Republicans: Stop Using the Word “Freedom”

September 20, 2025


I have said this time and time again… this is the gentleman who should be president of the United States. Were the American electorate to get smart and elect him to the highest office in the land, we would see a very different America emerge — a much more civilised, caring America, giving all Americans much better opportunities to succeed, and a far better quality of life. That means to say, a fairer society for all. It would be a much nicer country to live in, even for the very rich, and Americans in general would start to feel comfortable with themselves, comfortable in their skins. By the way, Bernie Sanders is no socialist that any sensible European could recognise. Bernie Sanders is simply a man with good, sound, fair principles who wants justice for all. — © Mark Alexander

Bernie Sanders RIPS Jimmy Kimmel Suspension: Now We're Closer to 'Authoritarianism'

Sep 8, 2025 | “This country is rapidly moving toward an authoritarian form of society. In authoritarian countries—like Russia and Saudi Arabia—you do not have a media that is allowed to be critical of the government,” says Sen. Bernie Sanders, on how ABC paused Jimmy Kimmel's show after Trump's FCC chair threatened the network.

In Wake of Charlie Kirk Murder, Sen. Bernie Sanders Addresses Rising Political Violence in America

Sep 11, 2025 | The murder of Charlie Kirk is part of a disturbing rise in political violence that threatens to hollow out our public life.

A free society relies on the premise that people can speak out without fear or humiliation.

No more political violence.

Bernie Sanders: Kennedy Must Resign

OPINION : GUEST ESSAY

THE NEW YORK TIMES: Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the secretary of health and human services, is endangering the health of the American people now and into the future. He must resign.

Mr. Kennedy and the rest of the Trump administration tell us, over and over, that they want to Make America Healthy Again. That’s a great slogan. I agree with it. The problem is that since coming into office President Trump and Mr. Kennedy have done exactly the opposite.

This week, Mr. Kennedy pushed out the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention after less than one month on the job because she refused to act as a rubber stamp for his dangerous policies. Four leading officials at C.D.C. resigned the same week. One of those officials said Mr. Kennedy’s team asked him to “change studies that have been settled in the past” apparently to fit Mr. Kennedy’s anti-vaccine views. This is not Making America Healthy Again.

Despite the overwhelming opposition of the medical community, Secretary Kennedy has continued his longstanding crusade against vaccines and his advocacy of conspiracy theories that have been rejected repeatedly by scientific experts. » | Bernie Sanders | Senator Sanders, independent of Vermont, is the ranking member of the Senate Committee for Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. | Saturday, August 30, 2025

Why Is Social Security So Popular? | Sen. Bernie Sanders

Aug 14, 2025 | Ninety years ago this week, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law, creating the most popular government program in our nation’s history.

For nearly nine decades, through good times and bad, Social Security has paid out every benefit owed to every eligible American on time and without delay.

Before Social Security was signed into law, half of seniors in America lived in poverty. Today, although still way too high, that figure is 10%. Social Security is not, as Elon Musk has suggested, “the greatest Ponzi scheme of all time.” Quite the opposite. It is the most successful government program in American history. A program that over 160,000 older and disabled Vermonters benefit from each year.

And yet despite its success, President Trump and others have been working overtime to dismantle Social Security and undermine the confidence that the American people have in it. Since he took office, the Trump administration has fired at least 7,000 workers at the Social Security Administration, shut down Social Security field offices and made it more difficult for seniors and the disabled to receive the benefits they have earned over the phone.



This is the man who should be president! This gentleman would make a truly great president of the USA. If only the American electorate could see it! The current occupier of the White House, the convicted felon and sex offender, will never be able to make America great again. Bernie Sanders could and would. Bernie Sanders is the best president America has never had! — © Mark Alexander
