Americans, how does it feel to be number one?

If it doesn't feel good in this case please vote for Bernie Sanders in the Democratic Primary, the only candidate who will do everything in his power to make sure you get Medicare For All and don't have to worry about going bankrupt if you or a family member suffers a health crisis.

If you are not sure if your disposable income will go up or down under Bernie's plans you can check with this link:

I'm not getting the connection between the information in the tweet and why we should vote for Bernie. What is your interpretation of the above, and how does having medicare for all fix it?

@midnightrose the connection is that the countries that already have something similar to medicare for all spend a lot less on healthcare per capita so unless you have stocks in the health insurance industry there is literally no rational argument against making a change to something much more humane like the rest of the industrialised world. Hope that helps clear things up.

@Saxo2000 It does a little bit, yes. Thanks.

While we spend almost twice as much per capita, their death per 100k isn't that far behind us. I'd want to see it written in ratio form to see the difference.

Our population is also higher than any of the countries I see listed. What works in a smaller populated country may not work for the US. Only one way to find out I suppose.

@midnightrose I couldn't fit all the countries in the screenshot, as you can see France has not more than half in terms of death per 100k.

As for your other point, I have heard that point before but given the disaster of the current situation it is our moral responsibility to at least try to make the change.
