Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) issued a grim warning about America's health care system during an interview with CNN's Kaitlan Collins on Monday.
"We have a brokenhealth care system; everybodyknows that," Sanders said. "And Trump is notwrong when he says the system isnot working very well, but he ismaking it far worse. Andhonestly, as the former chair ofthe health committee, I worryvery, very much that he couldliterally collapse the entiresystem."
Sanders' comments come at a time when Republicans and Democrats are negotiating over health care policy as part of the government shutdown. Republicans have proposed a continuing resolution to fund the government through the end of the year that maintains steep health care cuts implemented by Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill." Democrats are seeking to reverse those cuts.
"We don't have enoughdoctors right now," Sanders said. "Who in theworld is going to become adoctor in the midst of all ofthis? We pay the highest pricesin the world for prescriptiondrugs, for health care ingeneral. Our life expectancy islower than other majorcountries. So we have a systemdeeply in trouble. He is takingit to the verge of collapse."
