Welcome to the Official Bernie Sanders re-election information site Sanders is anti-American Dream. How many people would like to start their own small business and become successful? But Mr Sanders, who claims to be for the "little guy," routinely votes against the interests of Small Business. When 80% of new jobs are created by small business in this country,it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why our economy is recovering slowly. The Small Business Survival Committee (SBSC) in Washington, DC consistently scores Mr Sanders ZERO in support of small business. With a "friend of the people" like that, who needs enemies?

Voted NO on allowing suing HMOs, but under federal rules & limited award. Vote to adopt an amendment that would limit liability and damage awards when a patient is harmed by a denial of health care. It would allow a patient to sue a health maintenance organization in state court but federal, not state, law would govern. Bill HR 2563 ; vote number 2001-329 on Aug 2, 2001 Voted NO on Prescription Drug Coverage under Medicare. HR 4680, the Medicare Rx 2000 Act, would institute a new program to provide voluntary prescription drug coverage for Medicare beneficiaries through subsidies to private plans. The program would cost an estimated $40 billion over five years and would go into effect in fiscal 2003.

Vote on HR 2260, the Pain Relief Promotion Act of 1999, would ban the use of drugs for physician-assisted suicide.

Reference: Bill sponsored by Hyde, R-IL; Bill HR 2260 ; vote number 1999-544 on Oct 27, 1999 Voted NO on establishing tax-exempt Medical Savings Accounts. The bill allows all taxpayers to create a tax-exempt account for paying medical expenses called a Medical Savings Account [MSA]. Also, the measure would allow the full cost of health care premiums to be taken as a tax deduction for the self-employed and taxpayers who are paying for their own insurance. The bill would also allow the establishment of "HealthMarts," regional groups of insurers, health care providers and employers who could work together to develop packages for uninsured employees. Another provision of the bill would establish "association health plan," in which organizations could combine resources to purchase health insurance at better rates than they could separately.
