Lowering the Medicare eligibility age is not just the right thing to do, it's what the American people want. According to a recent Gallup poll: – 65% want to reduce the Medicare age to 60 – 60% want to expand Medicare to all Health care is a human right, not a privilege. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

In the richest country on earth it's absurd that 75% of seniors who need hearing aids don't have one, 65% of seniors don't have dental insurance & eyeglass frames manufactured for as little as $10 cost over $230. We must expand Medicare to cover hearing, vision & dental care. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Maybe it's a radical idea in Washington, but no. I do not believe that the billionaire class should pay a lower effective tax rate than the middle class. A profitable corporation like Zoom should not be able to pay nothing in federal income taxes when its profits go up by 4,000%. — PolitiTweet.org

Life expectancy for low-income Americans is right now about 15 years lower than for the wealthy. Poverty in the richest country in the history of the world is a death sentence. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Since 1985, the average Wall Street bonus has gone up 1,217%. If the federal minimum wage had increased at the same rate as Wall Street bonuses, it would be $44/hour. Instead, it's remained stuck at $7.25 an hour for 12 years. We must raise the minimum wage to at least $15/hour. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

There are millions of seniors who cannot afford dental care, hearing aids or eyeglasses. In the richest country on earth that is unacceptable. That is why Medicare must negotiate drug prices and use the savings to expand Medicare to cover these basic health care needs. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The United States cannot prosper and remain a vigorous democracy when so few have so much and so many have so little. We must address the crisis of income and wealth inequality now. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The time is now to address the enormous crisis facing seniors who are unable to get the dental care, the hearing aids, and the optical care that they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Our current health care system is totally absurd. https://t.co/b61c1JsO91 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Does anyone out there honestly believe that the answer to growing income and wealth inequality is to give more tax breaks to billionaires? That is absurd. https://t.co/jUwn6dsWQ5 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

No. We will not allow Trump's handpicked Postmaster General Louis DeJoy to slow down mail delivery, cut hours at post offices and sabotage the Postal Service. We will expand and strengthen it. It is way past time to fire Mr. DeJoy. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Let's be clear. The legislation passed in Georgia is voter suppression. The Senate must quickly take up the voting rights bills passed by the House of Representatives. If we are serious about calling ourselves a democracy, we must make it easier for people to vote – not harder. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

At a time of massive wealth inequality, the GOP estate tax repeal bill would give a $1.7 trillion tax cut to the top 0.1% & NOTHING for the 99.9%. It provides: $88B to the Walton family $71B to the Bezos family $64B to the Musk family Just what we need. Totally insane. — PolitiTweet.org

Drug prices in 🇺🇸 vs. 🇨🇦 Entocourt for Crohn's Disease: 🇺🇸 $830 🇨🇦 $80 Flovent Diskus for Asthma: 🇺🇸 $242 🇨🇦 $28 Crestor for Cholesterol: 🇺🇸 $332 🇨🇦 $67 Januvia for Diabetes: 🇺🇸 $585 🇨🇦 $126 2 EpiPens: 🇺🇸 $686 🇨🇦 $278 We must end this greed & collusion & lower drug prices — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The GOP bill to repeal the estate tax would give the Walton family, the richest family in America and the owners of Walmart, a tax break of up to $88 billion. Does anyone really believe that we should be providing an $88 billion tax break to the wealthiest family in the country? — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

What do my Republican colleagues want to do to address the crises facing working families today? They want to give tax breaks to the wealthiest people in the country. That is obscene. https://t.co/n9TXnMBtJW — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Vermont just got a HUGE investment in our community health centers. Nearly one-in-three Vermonters rely on them, and $33 million is an enormous amount of money. It represents a huge leap forward for Vermonters’ health care. https://t.co/tdOqV5lI4c — PolitiTweet.org

LIVE: The Senate Budget Committee is holding a hearing on why we need to end a rigged and corrupt tax code that gives trillions of dollars in tax breaks to the wealthy and huge corporations. https://t.co/6Dw5UJRKp5 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Louis DeJoy, a top campaign contributor of Donald Trump, is the worst Postmaster General in American history. He should have been fired or removed from office a long time ago. We need a Postmaster General who will protect and strengthen the Postal Service, not sabotage it. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Women on average make just 82 cents for every dollar a man is paid, and that pay gap is even larger for women of color and tipped workers. Equal pay for equal work is not a radical idea. It's an issue of basic justice. — PolitiTweet.org

This is the 7th mass shooting in 7 days, less than a week after the attacks in Atlanta. We cannot stand by as these tragedies happen again and again. Congress must take on the corrupting influence of the NRA, and pass the common sense gun safety legislation Americans want. — PolitiTweet.org

Last year, one-in-five Americans couldn’t afford to buy the medicine prescribed by their doctor. Meanwhile, pharmaceutical companies made billions in profits and spent hundreds of millions on CEO compensation. We must end their greed. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Why do Americans pay the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs? Could it have anything to do with the fact that last year 9 large pharmaceutical companies made over $58 billion in profits? https://t.co/jrwMZwcmVo — PolitiTweet.org
