WATCH Comrade Bernie’s Latest Propaganda Video

   DailyWire.com

Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) YouTube channel published a political commercial framing health care as “a right,” pushing for implementation of a communist health care system.

Entitled “We Can Make Health Care A Right,” the video features assorted Democrats — including Senators Corey Booker (D-NJ), Elizabeth Warren (D-MS), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Mazie Hirono (D-HI), Kamala Harris (D-CA), Al Franken (D-MN), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), and Patrick Leahy (D-VT) — calling for fully state-driven central planning of health care and health insurance.

Government “should guarantee health care to all people,” says Sanders in the video’s close, framing the provision of health care-related goods and services as an actualizable “right.”

Watch the video below.

Assorted Democrats and leftists have acknowledged that the Affordable Care Act (ACA/”ObamaCare”) was intended as a step toward nationalization of all health care. Destroying the financial viability of health insurance companies via the ACA will offer a political pretext for a state takeover of the health care apparatus.

“Medicare-for-all single-payer” is how Sanders framed his proposal in a Saturday-published video on his Facebook page. Watch it below.

Last week, Hillary Clinton said Medicare and Medicaid should be leveraged toward full state control of health care and health insurance.

Democrats and leftists regularly use euphemisms such as “universal” and “single-payer” in describing their communist designs for health care.

A primary political cleavage between the Left and Right exists over perceptions of rights; the Left viewing consumption of goods and services as per one’s needs — as defined by the state — as a right. Described as “positive rights” across political academia, leftists view access to goods and services produced via human enterprise — delivered via state-mandated redistribution and management — as a right.
