Dental care is health care. We must expand Medicare to include dental, hearing aids & eyeglasses. 71% of Black Medicare recipients, 65% of Hispanic Medicare recipients, 70% of low-income enrollees and 59% living in rural areas did not see a dentist in the past year. Unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
It is not a radical idea to say that every family in America should be entitled to high quality and affordable child care. Under the Build Back Better Plan, no working family in this country will be paying more than 7% of their income on child care. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
It is a bit embarrassing that our great country is the only major country on Earth not to guarantee paid family and medical leave. That MUST change. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
The pharmaceutical industry employs nearly 1,500 lobbyists in Washington, DC alone - including the former congressional leaders in both major political parties. Got that? That’s almost three prescription drug lobbyists for every Member of Congress. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
The overriding motivation of the pharmaceutical industry is greed. Their overriding goal is to make as much money as they can by squeezing as much as they possibly can out of the sick, out of the elderly and out of the desperate. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
I will not tell the young people that we can't address the climate crisis. I will not tell people that are homeless that we can't build affordable housing. I will not tell families that we can't make child care affordable. We must address the needs of the working class. https://t.co/7XBEVx2qY7 — PolitiTweet.org

The time is now to finally address the long-neglected needs of the working class. I'm LIVE on the floor of the Senate talking about why we must pass the $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill. https://t.co/S5QuAigoo2 — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
Poll after poll shows that the American people want fundamental and transformational change. It’s time to listen to them, not the wealthy and the powerful. — PolitiTweet.org

68,000 Americans die each and every year because they cannot afford to get the health care that they need when they need it. In other words, the greed of the prescription drug industry is killing Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @USProgressives: Progressives in both chambers of Congress are clear: We have to meet this moment and build back better. Thank you to… — PolitiTweet.org

For far too long, it has not been Congress that has been regulating the pharmaceutical industry. It has been the pharmaceutical industry that has been regulating Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

Enough is enough. A life-saving prescription drug does not work if you cannot afford to buy it. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
The historic expansion of the child tax credit, passed earlier this year under the American Rescue Plan, helped lower child poverty in this country by more than 50%. Pretty good. But we cannot stop there. We must extend it now. https://t.co/4Qq8ne2H9d — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
Today, nearly one out of every four Americans cannot afford the medications that their doctors prescribe. Enough is enough. It is time to end the corporate greed of the pharmaceutical industry and lower the cost of prescription drugs. https://t.co/t1KpvuSxHb — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
All over this country, the American people are asking a simple question: How many people need to die, how many people need to get unnecessarily sicker before Congress is prepared to take on the greed of the prescription drug industry? — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
Last year, the six largest drug companies in the U.S. made nearly $50 billion dollars in profits. Meanwhile, Americans pay, by far, the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs. That disgrace has got to end. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
The pharmaceutical industry, over the last 20 years, has spent over $4.5 billion dollars on lobbying and campaign contributions. They have hundreds of lobbyists on Capitol Hill right now to fight any bill that will lower the cost of prescription drugs. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
Moral policy is good politics. When you stand up for working families and protect future generations, that not only is the right thing to do, but it is also what the American people want. https://t.co/bpw5yWuzHe — PolitiTweet.org

I’m very glad my home state of Vermont will be welcoming 100 Afghan refugees in the coming weeks. This is exactly what we should be doing, and I have no doubt that they will enrich, and contribute immeasurably, to our state. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
The pharmaceutical industry doesn’t want us to lower the cost of prescription drugs. The fossil fuel industry wants to continue making profits off of destroying the planet. We must show the American people that government represents them, not powerful interest groups. https://t.co/AYzLsu01Ki — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
We are taking on the ruling class, we are taking on the oligarchs, we are taking on the pharmaceutical industry, we are taking on the health care industry, we are taking on the fossil fuel industry. But if we stand together, we will win. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
We are taking on the ruling class, we are taking on the oligarchs, we are taking on the parametrical industry, we are taking on the health care industry, we are taking on the fossil fuel industry. But if we stand together, we will win. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
Yes, we must pass the most consequential piece of legislation for working families since the 1930s and prove that our government can work for them, and not just for the wealthy and powerful. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
79% of the American people believe that the cost of prescription drugs is too high. Is it radical for Congress to represent the American people and address their long-neglected needs? No. I don’t think so. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
The American people pay higher prices for prescription drugs than people in almost every other major country on Earth. Does that make any sense to you? — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
The reality of today is that poverty is a death sentence in America. The wealthiest people live, on average, 10-15 years longer than the poorest. We must expand Medicare. We must invest in child care. We must pay workers a living wage. We must take care of our people. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
The richest people on Earth should pay more than $0 in federal income taxes. Period. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
Question: Why do we pay, by far, the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs? Answer: The pharmaceutical industry has spent $4.5 billion over the last 20 years in lobbying and campaign contributions. Congress must have the courage NOW to lower drug prices. — PolitiTweet.org
