-Removed-There is no such thing as providing for free of charge. It would be far more accurate for you to say that you wish other tax payers would pay for him. Furthermore, Medicaid covers the medical expenses of the poor... so you are asking for tax payers to pay for someone who could afford his medicine but wished to use it elsewhere.
@quackquack saidI see. So you think Sanders has made up the case cited in the OP?

@kazetnagorra saidBribery obviously isn't legal but I understand your exaggeration There are many groups that have influence .... many of which want more health care. Unions "bribe" politicians quid pro quo style more than any other group and they have an interest in increasing access to health care for their members and pharmaceutical companies which also lobby extensively and have an interest in increased access to health care so they can make more sales.
The main reason is that bribery is legal in the United States, so that health insurance companies can simply bribe politicians to oppose common sense reforms to ensure efficiency and access to health care.
