Bernie Sanders' "Medicare for All" plan is really expensive over a 10-year period....

RE: Bernie Sanders' "Medicare for All" plan is really expensive over a 10-year period....
Here's an example of the marvelous health care that republitards are always bragging about.  Yeah...we're #1, alright.

Quote:Woman with chronic kidney disease nearly dies every week before she can get medical care

Quote:Under the 1986 Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, hospitals must treat anyone who comes to them with a life-threatening medical emergency. This means that Lucia can only go to her local hospital when her life is in danger.
However, if she waits too long to receive treatment for her illness, she could easily die.
“When both kidneys stop working, people, on average, will live anywhere from 10 to 14 days,” said Dr. Lilia Cervantes, who helps treat Lucia at the hospital. “And so, to continue living, you need some process to filter blood, which is a dialysis machine.”

And the republicunts solution?  Repeal the EMTLA so these people can just fucking die already.  Yea, 'Murrica.
