In reply to the discussion: Sanders: 'Trump is right' on Australian healthcare system [View all]countryjake
(8,554 posts)But Bernie's response has been by far the best, he really laid into Trump and the republicans in that Chris Hayes interview on Thursday.
CBS news went into an in-depth explanation of Australian Health Care, after they showed the clip of him sitting there with PM Turnbull.
And on CNN, they had some clueless rethug listen to Trump, and he immediately began in on how Americans could never live with an Australian-type system, then when he was asked why Americans wouldn't prefer free medical services, he blurted, "TAXES!! EXORBITANT TAXES!!". So she pointed out to him that Australians are taxed at a rate of only around 2% of their income in order to have free healthcare...guy had no answer to that. I half expected him to begin in on socialism but his mouth fell open and nothing came out, ha!
