There is no reason a Senator should make $191K for working part of the year either. @SenSanders

@liars_never_win @SenSanders That's not even that much.

@zacmcowan @liars_never_win @SenSanders right? people don't even take into account what Senators can make in the private sector. Way more.

Sanders was on food stamps in the private sector, cupcake. @Twitchikins @zacmcowan @SenSanders

@liars_never_win @zacmcowan Yes, because after decades of experience, no one wants Senators for high paid consultant jobs, sweetcheeks.

I’m the first one to say he should quit the senate. He needs more vacation homes. @Twitchikins @zacmcowan

@liars_never_win @zacmcowan you switch immediately to that instead of trying to defend your position that we shouldn't comp our leaders well

@SenSanders Bernie do you know anything about the costs to develop a product? You should seriously get a real job & take some ECON classes!

@kgaylandb @SenSanders While that may be true...Americans pay more for prescription drugs than other countries...why?

@JamPey10 @SenSanders Why? Because we have the very latest first to market drugs! NOT available through the US Military or Canada!

@kgaylandb @JamPey10 @SenSanders So you think it is okay to raise the price of an old drug 400% because: ECON & R&D? Oy.

@DragonTat2 @kgaylandb @SenSanders the valid point here is there is nothing new about the drug that should cause the price increase.

@SenSanders No reason for Ambulance ride $1500 for 1/4 mile or MRI for $3500 or XRay $1200 or Lab test $1100. Hospitals is the problem!

@dbcooper23 @SenSanders health care for profit is the problem. it's always about bottom lines...it's not about actually caring for people.

@JamPey10 You obviously haven't worked in any sort of healthcare field…

@MicaylaIrene I don't work in direct HC, but I do have a child who will forever be dependent on an auto-injector.

@JamPey10 I wasn't saying the price isn't ridiculous. I was just saying not everyone in the healthcare career is Satan.

@MicaylaIrene I don't think they are either. I just don't believe life saving meds should be priced out of the hands of the most vulnerable.

@JamPey10 Anyone, whether they can afford it or not, have insurance options.
