Bernie's Damn Bill Pt. 1: What Is Medicare for All? (Narrated by H. Jon Benjamin)
Jan 22, 2020
From Roosevelts attempt to create a New Deal national health insurance program, to the Trump administrations repeal of the Obamacare individual mandate-the three-part Bernies Damn Bill video series reveals how decades of influence by greedy special interests have led to the present health care crisis.
Bernie has waged a four decades-long fight to implement Medicare for All and explains how his administration will take on corporations and the billionaire class to finally make it happen.
The series is narrated by H. Jon Benjamin, the accomplished voice actor who stars as Bob Belcher in Foxs Bobs Burgers and Sterling Archer in FXs Archer. Benjamin is an outspoken progressive advocate who is endorsing Bernies presidential campaign.

Sen. Ted Kennedy proposed this in 1971.

(67,782 posts)8. It's NOT "Bernie's Damn Bill", be it Pt. 1, or Pt. 2, or Pt. 3. It was proposed a number of times..
...over the years by a number of Representative and Senators. Like other bills and proposals, it's a rehash of someone else's work.
