I NEED to live long enough to see Seth Meyers do his Bernie impression to Bernie. This is the kind of political back-and-forth that could save this country.
In Australia, whilst our health system is not perfect, an aged pensioner would pay no more than about AUD$8 for a month's supply of insulin. That's just over USD$5
The same is true in many other modern democracies where government bargaining is used to purchase medication in bulk at deeply discounted prices allowing citizens to, for example, pick up a month's worth of insulin in the UK for about eight pounds while in the States (the only modern democracy where healthcare is a for-profit industry) that same insulin costs at least $500. As a US citizen old enough to remember when we were still the "good guys" and also enjoyed the highest quality standard of living in every category it saddens me deeply to see how we've fallen from being the envy of the world to at or near the bottom in every single area save GDP and military spending. For a nation of people who identify mostly as Christian, you'd think we'd follow the lead of the UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, S. Korea, all the Nordic nations, Germany and so on and resume the universal education we once offered plus move to universal healthcare, prop up our dying organized labor movement, end the ridiculously huge monopolies in every industry including news media, redistribute wealth by making our largest corporations pay their fair share of taxes as once they did (prior to Reagan, the capital gains tax was 60%!) and so on. But, no. Citizens aren't kept informed re: conditions outside the USA and are fed the lie that we're still #1 when we haven't been for generations. So, yeah: what you said!
@michaelkottler I remember distinctly being both confused and devastated (over 30 years ago) that citizens of the "Greatest Democracy in the World" were going bankrupt over a hospital visit! The beginning of the end, as you kind of said; was Reaganomics.
@lachlankaamd nixon who changed health system, coverage, benefits st employment, greater costs, lesser coverage, increased corporate control over doctors. 9212
Why why these pharmaceutical companies charged us more? I went to South America for a trip and ended up needing a gout medicine and almost die of surprise when I just pay $10 dollars for 40 pills and here they charged me $120 !!! Same brand, and there were multiple options from well known pharmaceuticals with the same price. It is insane!!!
Only if you take the doofus too. Gotta take a good and a bad or our center of gravity will shift and California will slide off into the ocean.lolol PS what you do with doofus after is your business... just no backsies or returns allowed. 🤣
Stopping the greed of the whole Medical system would be a decent and humane thing to do. Like Bernie said, civilized countries have a national healthcare system, so that an illness doesn't mean bankruptcy! Healthcare should be a Human Right in any civilized country!
❤ Love this man and his strong will to fight for the people. We need more men in office like him. We saw him give a talk at a union hall and when he was exiting the stage he went straight to my teenage stepson to shake his hand. He is an inspiration. The kids got Bernie ornaments for Christmas .❤
We're going to find out soon enough and it's disheartening how drowned out the point's Sanders makes has become. What he asks for isn't impossible, it's just the egos and greed of those in power who make it sound impossible.

As a visitor to the USA I had to go to a hospital ER. 10 minute consultation and a prescription for some antibiotics cost me the equivalent of 30 private GP visits in Australia. That’s 15 years of visits under normal circumstances. Thank goodness for travel insurance.
the NHS in the UK has its issues but one good thing is the set price for drugs. You don't get them for free, unless you're a child or elderly, but there is a set SAME price for everything, no matter what the drug.
This individual has garnered widespread admiration and support in England. There is a strong conviction that he possesses the potential, if elected as President, to rekindle our deep-rooted fondness for the American dream and reignite our faith in the transformative power of government. His leadership has the capacity to instill hope, serving as a catalyst for positive change and progress.
4:01 exactly. under single-payer health insurance, the government has _leverage_ to negotiate lower prices for everyone; that's why here in the US the Inflation Reduction Act they passed was only able to lower prices for people on Medicare.
I pay over $200 a month for a Medicare supplement and a Part D prescription policy. I just paid $550.00 for a common blood thinner…30 day supply! Xarelto is on the short list of drugs to be price negotiated…it was $750!😮
Same here. And then Cigna denied so much that my doctor requested for me. Even a simple muscle relaxer...these Medicare Supplemental programs are private insurance companies WE ARE FORCED TO SIGN UP FOR!!

Bernie Sanders for president, but then where will we get him a Bernie senate, a Bernie house of representatives and a Bernie supreme court? There are of course a few right-thinking people willing to do those jobs, and Bernie will need them all.
Bernie Sanders is a fine decent sensible courageous human being ooo Why America r there not more like him in politics ? We must not let the rich buy the Government of America
The state of Connecticut is purchasing $1 billion worth of healthcare debt for its state's residence, then forgiving that debt. They purchased it for $6.5 million. Using those two numbers we can determine that health is inflated 153 times it's actual value.
The commercials are all part of the legalized brainwashing allowed in the US. People actually think drug companies are health oriented, when their only goal is to drag out illnesses and keep people hooked on medications. Cures are purchased and shelved. It's disgusting. Profits over people...
Bernie❣Mad respect. Just think, back in 2016 America had a choice between Bernie Sanders & John McCain, and others, for President. Granted, on opposite ends of the political spectrum, but both HONORABLE men dedicated to public service. Yet, we somehow ended up with --errrg. WTF? 🤦
McCain didn't run in the Presidential primary in 2016. He ran for re-election to the Senate for what would be the last time. Probably the most sane and reasonable option in that Republican field was John Kasich, though he finished 4th behind Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.
The dnc promised Hillary the nomination to back out against Obama (instead of her killing him). And the dnc stole the nomination from the voters to give it to her. That is the biggest travesty in American politics second only to kennedy being murdered by the cia and pentagon. Hrc pushed trump on the public because that was the only opposition she had a chance against and still lost.
My child was just prescribed a medication that “costs” $25,000 per month. Insurance denied coverage for it. Who can afford that? Not me. So we will go without.
I attended two of Bernie's rallies both times he ran for president. I never had felt more positive about politician until I listened to Bernie. We are being ripped off by lobbyists buying our government. That needs to stop. I really trust Bernie Sanders.
You know, in Brazil there’s this thing called “SUS” and it’s a free healthcare system for EVERYONE. If you’re a diabetic, SUS gives you insulin for free. You can have a surgery and leave without selling your house. It breaks my heart that not everyone in the world can get the same treatment.
I still can't believe how many people complained about Bernie being angry during the two presidential campaigns he ran, when the very things he's angry about are things WE are angry about. I would much prefer a candidate like Bernie than one who tries winning by sugar coating our nation's problems.
The more a politician points out the reality of greed and speaks to fiscal equality in this country the more they are villainized. It tells you how both sides are corrupt and fear having to do without 2nd homes and 100k cars. It's always those in power and those who have all the nice things that talk against it the most. Heaven forbid we cap wealth at 100 million. Yes it's possible and yes there are ways to create real checks and balances. We'd need to change cultural values. Unfortunately those with ego's that haven't evolved past their own childish desires for 'more stuff' who still rule over us and set the stage for more of the same.
Those who want "more stuff" aren't just those that want to rule over us, but they also walk amongst us, and therein lies the problem. They look up to those with all the stuff, and vote for the ones that tell you they can get you there. Of course, the reality is that those ones in office don't give a damn about you, they only care about their stuff, yet they still get voted in.
Every party should agree with this "the market needs more competition to drive down prices and encourage innovation.' the fact that one party is 100% against this tells you everyone you need to know that we live in a crony capitalist system instead.
My own state dropped my health insurance company which before, it only cost $37 per month to refill all my meds, now I have to use a different insurance company that won’t cover one of my pills and I have to use an app just so I can pay 3x as much for the exact same medication. 😡
Remember when people complained about his age? Compare his wit and clarity here with Biden and Trump. I wish Americans would stop voting against themselves.
I feel like there's a lot of Americans who would agree 100% with what Bernie said here...and then they'll go vote for Trump. It's like how almost everyone loves the Democrats' policies and then vote Republican.
I live in Australia and I suffer from endometriosis, coeliac disease and degenerative disc disease, all of which would not be covered in your healthcare system. Endoscopies, laparoscopies, hysterectomy, anterior cervical discectomy fusion, all covered by our healthcare system. I need 10 different medications and all of them are $7.70. After I pay for 30-something scripts, I reach what we call the "safety net", which means I then get all those medications for free for the remainder of the year. GP appointments, free. Neurosurgeon, free. Neurologist, free. Gynaecologist, free. Gastroenterologist, free. Physio, free. Nerve block injections, free. Ambulance, free. Nerve conduction studies, free. Blood tests etc, free. Eye exams, free. Healthcare should never be about profit. Hospitals should not be about profit. No American should have to risk their own lives because they can't afford the care they need. Universal healthcare sure isn't perfect, but what is. Everyone should have the right to decent medical care
I'm a veteran (Marines and Army) and have VA health care and they don't even supply dental and only provide glasses one time, there is a lot that isn't covered. We get the shaft here in the US because we've been brainwashed and everyone is so submissive to the capitalists when we need to fight back.

This is the kind of political back-and-forth that could save this country.
In Australia, whilst our health system is not perfect, an aged pensioner would pay no more than about AUD$8 for a month's supply of insulin. That's just over USD$5
The same is true in many other modern democracies where government bargaining is used to purchase medication in bulk at deeply discounted prices allowing citizens to, for example, pick up a month's worth of insulin in the UK for about eight pounds while in the States (the only modern democracy where healthcare is a for-profit industry) that same insulin costs at least $500. As a US citizen old enough to remember when we were still the "good guys" and also enjoyed the highest quality standard of living in every category it saddens me deeply to see how we've fallen from being the envy of the world to at or near the bottom in every single area save GDP and military spending. For a nation of people who identify mostly as Christian, you'd think we'd follow the lead of the UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, S. Korea, all the Nordic nations, Germany and so on and resume the universal education we once offered plus move to universal healthcare, prop up our dying organized labor movement, end the ridiculously huge monopolies in every industry including news media, redistribute wealth by making our largest corporations pay their fair share of taxes as once they did (prior to Reagan, the capital gains tax was 60%!) and so on. But, no. Citizens aren't kept informed re: conditions outside the USA and are fed the lie that we're still #1 when we haven't been for generations. So, yeah: what you said!
Australian system gets more and more privatised every day. Pure corruption
@michaelkottler I remember distinctly being both confused and devastated (over 30 years ago) that citizens of the "Greatest Democracy in the World" were going bankrupt over a hospital visit! The beginning of the end, as you kind of said; was Reaganomics.
@lachlankaamd nixon who changed health system, coverage, benefits st employment, greater costs, lesser coverage, increased corporate control over doctors. 9212
Also we have a safety net if we spend $277.20 for concession card holders · $1,647.90 AU for general patients It becomes free!
Man, I love you, Bernie! This man is really looking out for Americans.
Why why these pharmaceutical companies charged us more? I went to South America for a trip and ended up needing a gout medicine and almost die of surprise when I just pay $10 dollars for 40 pills and here they charged me $120 !!! Same brand, and there were multiple options from well known pharmaceuticals with the same price. It is insane!!!
If you Yanks don't want Bernie for President, can us Brits have him?
Only if you take the doofus too. Gotta take a good and a bad or our center of gravity will shift and California will slide off into the ocean.lolol
PS what you do with doofus after is your business... just no backsies or returns allowed.
🤣
You already got Larry
No. You guys had that freek Bore Us Johnson. 🤢
Canada calls dibs first!!
You have his brother. Who Bernie says was his biggest early influence. Try re-electing him.
Stopping the greed of the whole Medical system would be a decent and humane thing to do.
Like Bernie said, civilized countries have a national healthcare system, so that an illness doesn't mean bankruptcy!
Healthcare should be a Human Right in any civilized country!
❤ Love this man and his strong will to fight for the people. We need more men in office like him. We saw him give a talk at a union hall and when he was exiting the stage he went straight to my teenage stepson to shake his hand. He is an inspiration. The kids got Bernie ornaments for Christmas .❤
What will become of the States when the last of these great men is gone?
AOC wil take over
We're going to find out soon enough and it's disheartening how drowned out the point's Sanders makes has become. What he asks for isn't impossible, it's just the egos and greed of those in power who make it sound impossible.
Younger people will step in and continue to build on what they've stated. Have you not seen our future in Jasmine Crockett? Jared Moscowits? .. there are others.
Watch some of the hearings and you understand hope is not gone.
AOC
❤❤❤❤❤
thanks. i needed this reminder. @@notme2day
BERNIE! Thanks for having BERNIE on the show tonight! I LOVE ❤️ hearing him speak!! Ty!! ❤❤❤✌🏻✌🏻
As a visitor to the USA I had to go to a hospital ER.
10 minute consultation and a prescription for some antibiotics cost me the equivalent of 30 private GP visits in Australia. That’s 15 years of visits under normal circumstances.
Thank goodness for travel insurance.
the NHS in the UK has its issues but one good thing is the set price for drugs. You don't get them for free, unless you're a child or elderly, but there is a set SAME price for everything, no matter what the drug.
This individual has garnered widespread admiration and support in England. There is a strong conviction that he possesses the potential, if elected as President, to rekindle our deep-rooted fondness for the American dream and reignite our faith in the transformative power of government. His leadership has the capacity to instill hope, serving as a catalyst for positive change and progress.
President Bernie Sanders!
The Oligarchy and the Democratic Establishment SQUASHED him.😢
4:01 exactly. under single-payer health insurance, the government has _leverage_ to negotiate lower prices for everyone; that's why here in the US the Inflation Reduction Act they passed was only able to lower prices for people on Medicare.
Powerful whether he is President or not. Thank you 🙏🏼
There isn’t enough aloe on the planet for the Bern I’m still feelin’.
The only man I've ever wanted as a president!!!! Oh how different this country would be of he'd won. Love you Mr. Sanders 🫡🫶
I pay over $200 a month for a Medicare supplement and a Part D prescription policy. I just paid $550.00 for a common blood thinner…30 day supply!
Xarelto is on the short list of drugs to be price negotiated…it was $750!😮
So sorry.
Same here. And then Cigna denied so much that my doctor requested for me. Even a simple muscle relaxer...these Medicare Supplemental programs are private insurance companies WE ARE FORCED TO SIGN UP FOR!!
That's a true living nightmare for you and many others.
My father in law has various rare conditions (Scleroderma,Pulmonary hypertension, Monoclonal gammopathy and other stuff). He is taking many pills every day, some are as expensive as 2000€/month, guess How much is he paying for it?, 0, nada, nothing. And we live in a shithole european country, if we can do it you can, stop bombing other countries
Able? To get the drug approved as an accepted Formulary , whereas your out of pocket was due to drug Not being an approved (Formulary) drug In Their List. ? If this is the case and Company denies, could file complaint at State, Federal level thru your Attorney General. If you are covered under Part D, this is your right, with your DRs documentation. 🫂🤝🇺🇲
Love me some Bernie, his plain spoken talk is always refreshing
Hes one of the few on the left I'd actually be in favor for. Hes spot on with so many modern issues
Always good to see Bernie on Seth's show 💪🏽💙💙💙
A National treasure! ❤ 🇺🇸 🗽❤
Very well said! He has been fighting for the “average person” his entire life. I don’t know where he finds the hope and strength to go on, year after year fighting the same battles. Bless Bernie Sanders❤
Bernie you're the man!!!! I love your concerns about the American people. You focus on serious issues that effect everyday life from new borns to the elderly. You have my vote 100% whenever where ever. Go Bernie Go!!!!!
"Stop the bloody greed" go Bernie!
So much love here for Bernie, makes me happy, man we deserved this guy.
My epilepsy medication costs so much for a monthly fill. I pay close to $4000 a year on it, but I have to take it to live. This is the reason I backed Bernie when he ran for president.
My recent experience in welfare society;
Saturday evening I fell on my bike. My parents drove me home and the next day we went to the emergency center at a hospital. (if not, they would have sent an ambulance for free)
Two hours after arrival the next day, I got an x ray and was consulted by a doctor 30 mins later. (I got some crutches since nothing was broken)
Price; zero
I imagine a parallel universe where we have President Sanders, new Guns N' Roses albums, good Star Wars movies, a Mets championship and flying cars.
America could have voted for Bernie...America would have been the country it thinks it is.
Unfortunately, propaganda exists, and people have issues thinking clearly and for themselves.
Actually he wasn't even on their ballot by the time most people voted.
If the Democratic primaries were democratic, he would (still) get the nomination
I can’t help but shed a tear for what a Bernie presidency could have been. He is a treasure. A true man for the people.
Bernie Sanders for president, but then where will we get him a Bernie senate, a Bernie house of representatives and a Bernie supreme court? There are of course a few right-thinking people willing to do those jobs, and Bernie will need them all.
I find it funny and awesome that Bernie is an 82 year old Senator who's also Grammy nominated.
4 years ago a report came out that said the middleman in our health care system which we could totally do without makes $17,000 a day.
Bernie Sanders is a fine decent sensible courageous human being ooo Why America r there not more like him in politics ? We must not let the rich buy the Government of America
Bernie Sanders gives some of the most authentic and down to Earth answers of any politician
The state of Connecticut is purchasing $1 billion worth of healthcare debt for its state's residence, then forgiving that debt. They purchased it for $6.5 million. Using those two numbers we can determine that health is inflated 153 times it's actual value.
❤❤ good for the people 😊
I’m Australian but I love Bernie 😊
Bernie Sanders on Seth and Elizabeth Warren on Colbert… I love it
Our late night comedians are Dems 🎉🎉💙💙💙💙
What could have been. What should have been.
We love you, Tio Bernie!
I wish I had half Bernie’s energy and intellect. The guy is ageless.
Someone has to pay for the non stop pharmaceutical commercials.
I rarely see pharma commercials here on Canadian tv.
We're one of the few countries that allow it. It's absurd.
Not allowed in the EU...
As it should be.@@JesperSandgreen
The commercials are all part of the legalized brainwashing allowed in the US. People actually think drug companies are health oriented, when their only goal is to drag out illnesses and keep people hooked on medications. Cures are purchased and shelved. It's disgusting. Profits over people...
"Why are you charging 10 times more for the same drug than you charge in Canada or Europe?" Answer: "Because we can."
Love Bernie. I met him a couple of months ago in Amsterdam when he dropped by to promote his book
If Bernie Sanders were running for president, no one would question his age...
Bernie❣Mad respect. Just think, back in 2016 America had a choice between Bernie Sanders & John McCain, and others, for President. Granted, on opposite ends of the political spectrum, but both HONORABLE men dedicated to public service. Yet, we somehow ended up with --errrg. WTF? 🤦
McCain didn't run in the Presidential primary in 2016. He ran for re-election to the Senate for what would be the last time. Probably the most sane and reasonable option in that Republican field was John Kasich, though he finished 4th behind Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.
The dnc promised Hillary the nomination to back out against Obama (instead of her killing him). And the dnc stole the nomination from the voters to give it to her. That is the biggest travesty in American politics second only to kennedy being murdered by the cia and pentagon. Hrc pushed trump on the public because that was the only opposition she had a chance against and still lost.
My child was just prescribed a medication that “costs” $25,000 per month. Insurance denied coverage for it. Who can afford that? Not me. So we will go without.
I attended two of Bernie's rallies both times he ran for president. I never had felt more positive about politician until I listened to Bernie. We are being ripped off by lobbyists buying our government. That needs to stop. I really trust Bernie Sanders.
Hey, thanks for having our honest Senator on! 😍
You know, in Brazil there’s this thing called “SUS” and it’s a free healthcare system for EVERYONE. If you’re a diabetic, SUS gives you insulin for free. You can have a surgery and leave without selling your house. It breaks my heart that not everyone in the world can get the same treatment.
Why do they charge 10 times more than Canada and Europe? Because they can.
Love Bernie. His passion and intelligence and his FIRMNESS are perfect.
Firmness? That's an understatement. He's been fighting for the same stuff since what? The 70s?
❤Bernie
America needs more public servants like Bernie Sanders.
We love your show seth meyers
I love you Bernie ❤! From Canada ! Very worried about our neighbours to the South !
Thank you Bernie!!!
How is this dude not your president. He looks sharper than the fish or the chicken
💙The world needs more leaders like this outspoken man.
How long have you been fans
Greed of all companies not just health
Vote vote vote 💙
Greed and consumer ignorance fuel the downfall.
Bernie is correct. America needs a national healthcare system.
Like Britain and canada, we need healthcare for all
I still can't believe how many people complained about Bernie being angry during the two presidential campaigns he ran, when the very things he's angry about are things WE are angry about. I would much prefer a candidate like Bernie than one who tries winning by sugar coating our nation's problems.
The more a politician points out the reality of greed and speaks to fiscal equality in this country the more they are villainized. It tells you how both sides are corrupt and fear having to do without 2nd homes and 100k cars. It's always those in power and those who have all the nice things that talk against it the most.
Heaven forbid we cap wealth at 100 million. Yes it's possible and yes there are ways to create real checks and balances. We'd need to change cultural values. Unfortunately those with ego's that haven't evolved past their own childish desires for 'more stuff' who still rule over us and set the stage for more of the same.
b0tH sIdEs. You realise Bernie votes with the dems on pretty well everything yes?
Those who want "more stuff" aren't just those that want to rule over us, but they also walk amongst us, and therein lies the problem. They look up to those with all the stuff, and vote for the ones that tell you they can get you there. Of course, the reality is that those ones in office don't give a damn about you, they only care about their stuff, yet they still get voted in.
I love Bernie!!💗
The greed of money it always comes to that for many , shameful humans.
I can't understand it, if I had, IDK, 10 million € I would be happy and I would have enough, Why people never have enough?
I just finished reading his book last week but I may have to revisit it with the audio version. I’m up for the angry Bernie voice!
It’s great, he reads it wonderfully.
Every party should agree with this "the market needs more competition to drive down prices and encourage innovation.' the fact that one party is 100% against this tells you everyone you need to know that we live in a crony capitalist system instead.
My own state dropped my health insurance company which before, it only cost $37 per month to refill all my meds, now I have to use a different insurance company that won’t cover one of my pills and I have to use an app just so I can pay 3x as much for the exact same medication. 😡
2010 Supreme Court ruling on 'Citizens United' permitted unlimited Corporate donations to politicians
Am I asking to much to want Bernie Sanders to come on the show weekly!????
Remember when people complained about his age? Compare his wit and clarity here with Biden and Trump. I wish Americans would stop voting against themselves.
Yeah Bernie is the Boss.
Let s show our support for Senator Sanders!
Props to Seth for letting Bernie on. I miss him.
"Did you ever get the feeling that the world is a tuxedo and you're a pair of brown shoes?" -George Gobel.🤣🤣
Thanks Seth for having Bernie on periodically. Haven't seen Elizabeth Warren on your show in a while.
I feel like there's a lot of Americans who would agree 100% with what Bernie said here...and then they'll go vote for Trump. It's like how almost everyone loves the Democrats' policies and then vote Republican.
I live in Australia and I suffer from endometriosis, coeliac disease and degenerative disc disease, all of which would not be covered in your healthcare system. Endoscopies, laparoscopies, hysterectomy, anterior cervical discectomy fusion, all covered by our healthcare system. I need 10 different medications and all of them are $7.70. After I pay for 30-something scripts, I reach what we call the "safety net", which means I then get all those medications for free for the remainder of the year. GP appointments, free. Neurosurgeon, free. Neurologist, free. Gynaecologist, free. Gastroenterologist, free. Physio, free. Nerve block injections, free. Ambulance, free. Nerve conduction studies, free. Blood tests etc, free. Eye exams, free.
Healthcare should never be about profit. Hospitals should not be about profit. No American should have to risk their own lives because they can't afford the care they need. Universal healthcare sure isn't perfect, but what is. Everyone should have the right to decent medical care
I'm a veteran (Marines and Army) and have VA health care and they don't even supply dental and only provide glasses one time, there is a lot that isn't covered.
We get the shaft here in the US because we've been brainwashed and everyone is so submissive to the capitalists when we need to fight back.
What a lovely man.
Senator looks exasperated trying to state serious issues of labor while Seth's monologue on steamroll.🤣Love you Bernie🫵🏆🫂🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🤝
