Bernie Sanders has got a fever, and the only prescription is Medicare for All. He’s citing the high costs of childbirth in the U.S. as evidence that what we really need to fix an admittedly flawed health insurance system is moar socialism:
In the United States it costs, on average, $12,000 to have a baby.
In Finland it costs $60.
We've got to end the disgrace of our profit-driven health care system and pass Medicare for all.

Well, well, well … would you look at that? An old white man spouting off about childbirth. That’s so not-woke, Bernie. And the Medicare for All B.S. is so tiresome. Which is why Nikki Haley’s not having any of it:
Alright @BernieSanders, you’re not the woman having the baby so I wouldn’t be out there talking about skimping on a woman when it comes to childbirth. Trust me! Nice try though. https://t.co/LlmLmqdbNk

Health care costs are too high that is true but comparing us to Finland is ridiculous. Ask them how their health care is. You won’t like their answer.

Shorter Nikki Haley: Thank you, next!

If Bernie would be more at home in the socialist paradises of Europe, far be it from us to keep him here.
It doesn’t cost less in Finland. Someone else just pays for it.

The “cost” is not $60. He doesn’t understand it or he is willfully ignoring it. Either way it is bad.

Wonder what the rate is in Venezuela?
