HELP Committee Votes on Steward Health Care

Private equity vultures are making a fortune by taking over hospitals and leaving them in shambles.
It's time for the CEO of Steward Health Care to get off his yacht and explain to Congress how he got rich while bankrupting the hospitals he manages.

[@marjoriejohnson3147]

Thank you Bernie!!!!!! Bring on the regulations...and shut down Private Equity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lorettademaio4334]

You go Senator Sanders! I am so glad we have you to investigate these greedy monsters. Go get them!

Thank you, Senator Sanders! A true Statesman. 💙

[@melisavierra7812]

The more I learn the more it becomes clear that removing big money and corporations from government is the key to fixing our system! Senator Sanders, you are a real hero! I’m so excited to see that there are representatives from the next generation, people like Katie Porter, Jasmine Crockett, Pete Buttigieg and AOC, that have the courage to take a similar stand. Voting 💙🔷💙 so we can make real progress. Generosity + Gratitude = Grace

[@user-iy3dx1zl9q]

Greed must be regulated. Thank you Bernie for making us aware of the issues!

[@martincane6544]

Bernie has been sounding the alarm for years while the rest of Congress including the Democrat Party work have overtime to silence him.

We must condemn Ralph de la Torre. He represents everything wrong with the for-profit US health care system.

Love your sarcasm Bernie... take this guy down. Thank you.

[@Mypeacefuluniverse]

My head is starting to hurt😳 Shocking how bad a moral some people has. God bless for your Sanders. Having the brain to keep on top of things. Because this is a lot. Hope you had help with all this ♥️😊

[@DavidS-m8o]

I’m going broke and I’m not bailing out one more bank, healthcare scam or bank? Done with that. You get our money back.

[@timeenoughforart]

Banks can repossess life saving equipment from hospitals, but not the owners jet. Go figure.

[@lanabills4498]

Say their names. Shame them. If that's possible. Please keep doing this Mr Sanders. I'm watching from NZ. Healthcare is a fundamental human right. Not a luxury. The American system of monetization over proper healthcare for every person stuns and bewilders me. Thank you. This is NOT a path I want to see my beautiful country go down. I abhor money huggers.

[@maxcudd3389]

It is so refreshing to see functioning U. S. Legislators.

[@JudithRuland]

Bernie, you're my hero! Please tell all the seniors out there that they are not to blame for the health care crisis.

[@ckevorkianxo]

We love you dearly Bernie ♥️ You will be remembered throughout our histories as the only person who consistently fought for the masses, against the entire government - and it’s just so tragic that so many were just far too blind to know that you were always our only hope ♥️

[@PrivateOrdover]

For those who don’t know, here is how proxies work .. In the Senate, "vote by proxy" and "no proxy" refer to the process of casting votes on behalf of another Senator: Vote by Proxy: - Allows a Senator to designate another Senator to cast a vote on their behalf if they are unable to be present in the chamber. - The proxy holder must be present in the chamber to cast the vote. - Proxy votes are typically used when a Senator is absent due to illness, travel, or other commitments. - The proxy vote is usually submitted in writing, and the proxy holder announces the vote on the Senator's behalf. No Proxy: - Means that a Senator does not wish to designate a proxy holder to cast their vote. - The Senator must be present in the chamber to cast their own vote. - If a Senator is absent and has not designated a proxy, their vote is not counted. Proxy voting is allowed in the Senate under certain circumstances, such as: - Committee votes - Routine or procedural matters - Voice votes (where the outcome is not in doubt) However, proxy voting is not allowed for: - Final passage of legislation - Constitutional amendments - Impeachment proceedings - Other critical or contentious matters The Senate has specific rules governing proxy voting, and the practice is subject to change.

[@BlahblahblahblahblahblahblahFU]

Senator Sanders I can hear the disgust in your voice. I hope American people can see this but the corporate media is in on this greed monopoly! I hope the American people can see this!

[@marwar819]

Why did it take such massive greed, suffering and criminality before the committee took action act?

[@preshisify]

[@kimberlysauber5601]

10:38 - I love you Bernie!! But really how can you get by with only ONE private jet!!?? I bet Dr De La Torre declined to FACE CONSEQUENCES to the American people!! The slimmier they are, the less the can face consequences.

[@rocketmaniax3]

There should be no such thing as "for profit" in healthcare, especially in hospitals. Private equity has no place in this as their goals are directly in conflict with patient care.

[@wittenstienspavlov3699]

Sanders president.

[@honeybee12566]

Thank you Bernie. We really appreciate you. I am working with you here in Sacramento through DSA, stumping for M4A since 2016. We are still out here. Just wanted you to know.

[@user-xm8cq6ti5x]

Oh God bless senator Sanders

[@jo-annleake8198]

This story is mind numbing and at the very least a cautionary tale.

[@jeannedouglas9912]

Untethered greed destroys everyone and everything. When hasn't it? Even our earth suffers from the disease of untethered greed.

[@Bammonb]

If we want to get serious about stopping this kind of thing from happening, there needs to be sever punishment for this. The problem is, I am not sure they are breaking the law which is crazy.

[@MrValarath]

It's almost as if the profit motive in healthcare shouldn't exist... hmmm.

The problem with making the rich pay into Social Security is that they don't need to collect when they retire so it's really not fair. Why not increase the income limit that Social Security is collected on? I believe now it stops at $275,000/yr.

isn't this a crime what hes doing isn't it fraud? nobody's looked at his financial dealings? well legislation needs to be put in place that people can't buy these premises hospitals hospice, the minute that one hospital has financial difficulties and goes under, then they are banned from buying anymore for a period of time say 10 years if it happens again it's a lifetime ban and cannot have any dealings as a consultant executor director with any other company doing the same thing. in case they want to change their name what is quite common in these types of crimes.

I am your sister from Yemen, and by Allah I only spoke out of hunger and distress. My mother, my brothers, and I lessons and tears. We are in a situation that only God knows about. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who brought us to this situation. By Allah Almighty, I did not write this appeal out of distress and distress. Poverty, O world, they have felt it So, I hope for you. By Allah Almighty, Lord of the Great Throne, he ate what I had in the house. By Allah, my brothers, he is my brothers by sitting in the house. Who has no food? By God, we are in a very difficult situation. We have 6 people entering the house, and my father has died, and there is no one who can depend on us and who lives in it.We live in a rented house because we cannot pay the rent we owe. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''' My brother, my first words are: I swear to God that I will not lie to you or deceive you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from the war. My family and I live in a rented house in Al-Shahrab 15,000 Yemenis among us, and now we owe 45,000 for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by God, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by God. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw...The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By God, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if one of us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God. Then, I ask you to help me for the sake of God. I ask you, by God, to love goodness and to help me, even if you can, by messaging me on WhatsApp.On this number 00967717415667 and ask for the name of my card and send it and do not be late and may God reward you with all the best, my brothers Sagar, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out in the street, you will be lost or we will die of hunger. My family and I ask you, by God, if you are able to help us, do not be late and may God reward you well..`/--~«««~-♡~♡~♡~~•~•~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡♡♡~~~: ~:~¡~¡~¡~;I.i.i.i.i.i. i.I.|-..........

This poem is a joyful and uplifting expression of faith, gratitude, and spiritual connection. The author, Carolyn Ghavam-Yuengling, celebrates the presence of God in her life, acknowledging His love, guidance, and protection. The poem's structure and rhythm are musical, with a repetitive and lyrical quality, making it feel like a hymn or a song. The use of refrains, such as "O WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY" and "I STILL HAVE A SOUND MIND AND A GOOD, GOOD, GOOD, TELLING OF TIME," adds to the poem's musicality and emphasizes the author's central themes. The language is rich and vivid, with imagery and metaphors that convey a sense of wonder, joy, and spiritual fulfillment. The author describes feeling engulfed in God's "FLAMES OF LOVE," being His "SACRED HEART AND DOVE OF LOVE," and having Him as her "MIND." The poem also touches on the idea of time, with the author expressing gratitude for having a "GOOD, SOUND MIND AND A GOOD TELLING OF TIME." This could be interpreted as a appreciation for the ability to stay present, focused, and connected to God's will. The final section, with its repetition of "THANK YOU, THANK YOU, LORD," conveys a sense of heartfelt gratitude and devotion. The inclusion of the copyright information, date, and timestamps adds a sense of formality and officialness to the poem, while the "Sent" and "Delivered" notifications suggest a sense of sharing and transmission. 09:44.
