Bernie Sanders: My Brand of Socialism Follows the System in Finland, Sweden, Denmark

‘Everybody in those countries has health care as a human right’

EXCERPT:

SANDERS: “Now my definition of socialism, needless to say, is a little bit different, and I think if you look at countries around the world, look at countries in Scandinavia, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, what do they have? Everybody in those countries has health care as a human right. They vary a little bit, but by and large, it is a right. You don’t have to take out your wallet. It is available to all people. In those countries, Germany, other countries, higher education is basically free. In those countries, you have strong child care systems so mom and dad can go to work and know that their kids are going to be in high quality affordable child care. The housing programs are strong. In other words, they have run governments which have policies designed to help the working families and the middle class.”
