Bernie Sanders Says If You're Poor In America You'll Live 10-15 Years Less: 'Anybody Else See A Problem With That?'
If you're rich in America, the odds are you'll live as long as people in other developed countries.Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) recently shared his thoughts on the state of healthcare in the United States, highlighting the disparity in outcomes between those with means and those without.
参议员伯尼·桑德斯（I-Vt.）最近分享了他对美国医疗保健状况的看法，强调了有经济能力的人和没有经济能力的人之间的结果差异。
What Happened: On Tuesday, Senator Sanders took to X to voice his concerns about the high cost of medical care in the U.S. and the financial burden it places on patients.
发生了什么：周二，桑德斯参议员在X上表达了他对美国高昂的医疗费用及其给患者带来的经济负担的担忧。
He said, "If you're rich in America, the odds are you'll live as long as people in other developed countries." However, conversely, if you're poor "you'll live 10 or 15 years less."
他说：“如果你在美国很富有，你很可能会像其他发达国家的人一样长寿。”但是，相反，如果你很穷，“你的寿命将缩短10到15年”。

The Vermont senator shared a video in which he addressed the issue. He said when asked about the status of the current healthcare system most people without exception say that "our healthcare system today is broken."
佛蒙特州参议员分享了一段视频，他在视频中谈到了这个问题。他说，当被问及当前医疗体系的状况时，大多数人无一例外地说：“我们今天的医疗保健系统已经崩溃”。
He said, "When people say that they are right." Sanders added, "In America today we spend twice as much per person on healthcare as do the people of any other country." However, he noted that the U.S. outcomes were worse in comparison.
他说：“当人们说他们是对的。”桑德斯补充说：“在当今的美国，我们人均医疗保健支出是任何其他国家人民的两倍。”但是，他指出，相比之下，美国的结果更差。
"Our life expectancy is way down behind many other countries and really obscenely the life expectancy in the United States between the people on top and working-class people is 10-12 years."
“我们的预期寿命远远落后于许多其他国家，在美国，顶层人群和工人阶级之间的预期寿命为10-12年。”
Why It Matters: Sanders' views come in the wake of ongoing discussions about healthcare reform in the U.S. His comments on drug pricing are particularly relevant given his previous criticisms of companies like Biogen and Bristol-Myers Squibb for their high drug prices. Sanders has previously stated that "getting sick in America should not mean going bankrupt, losing your home, car, or life savings."
为何重要：桑德斯的观点是在美国持续讨论医疗改革之后发表的。鉴于他此前曾批评Biogen和百时美施贵宝等公司的药品价格居高不下，他对药品定价的评论尤其重要。桑德斯此前曾表示：“在美国生病并不意味着破产、失去房屋、汽车或人生积蓄。”
Furthermore, Sanders' comments on the upcoming elections highlight his belief that the choice is clear for voters who want to see a change in the current healthcare system. He has previously criticized policies that favor billionaires over the average citizen.
此外，桑德斯对即将举行的选举的评论凸显了他的信念，即对于希望看到当前医疗体系发生变化的选民来说，选择是明确的。他此前曾批评过有利于亿万富翁而不是普通公民的政策。
