Sanders: Lies, Fibs and Anti-Reformers

By Brave New Films

August 14, 2009

In the second video of the series, Senator Bernie Sanders debunks several myths about President Barack Obama's healthcare plan in response to a question on Twitter. Sanders is genuinely concerned about the sources many Americans use to get information on the new healthcare plan. Many are clearly misinformed by "the people who are lying, or, at best, distorting reality"--people such as Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin, to name a few. An average American needs healthcare reform that would ensure that America does not remain the last industrialized country not taking its citizens' health seriously.
