When It Comes To Health Care, Bernie Sanders Doesn’t Speak For Republicans

In his latest crusade against free market capitalism, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is ironically presenting himself as the new voice of Republican voters. The man who spoke admiringly about how the dictator Fidel Castro governed Cuba and its health care system now thinks Republicans are and should be joining his side. This would be laughable if it wasn’t being taken seriously in many quarters.

In this new PR campaign, Sen. Sanders is claiming that Republican voters support his extreme agenda of breaking intellectual property protections, importing drugs from foreign countries, and worsening red tape by blocking any nominee to lead a federal health care agency. Reality, however, couldn’t be further from the truth and recent polling from the conservative consumer advocacy group Consumer Action for a Strong Economy (CASE) proves it.
