Sen. Bernie Sanders: Why is the US the only country that doesn't provide health care to everyone?

Sen. Bernie Sanders, the 73-year-old junior United States Senator from Vermont, is certainly not new to politics, so why is he the one asking us the questions? Where’s our free health care like everyone else on earth gets?

I want to know why the US is the only major country on earth that doesn't provide health care to all of its people. pic.twitter.com/eVhrfInzkn

I want to know how you got to this age with such an upside-down conception of America’s constitutional arrangement. https://t.co/whWTLapWhu

@SenSanders cause if the founders wanted that to be a legitimate function of government, they would have written it into the constitution.

@Maverick_SS_49 @MangyLover It also presumes that the national government has enumerated powers, the states police powers.

@charlescwcooke And what does that say about the voters — the Americans — who have repeatedly elected him? Matter of (mis)education.

@charlescwcooke never underestimate the power of denial. It is the realm where all socialists exist, their ideas don't survive elsewhere

@SenSanders because of the greedy top 1%.

@SenSanders Because we're not a socialist nation, Bernie! Not as founded, anyway. https://t.co/gPIfbRmy2X

@SenSanders Because there's a fundamental misconception of the purpose of government.
