Bernie Sanders Says If You're Poor In America You'll Live 10-15 Years Less: 'Anybody Else See A Problem With That?'
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.
參議員伯尼·桑德斯（I-Vt.）最近分享了他對美國醫療保健狀況的看法，強調了有經濟能力的人和沒有經濟能力的人之間的結果差異。
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.
發生了什麼：週二，桑德斯參議員在X上表達了他對美國高昂的醫療費用及其給患者帶來的經濟負擔的擔憂。
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."
他說：「如果你在美國很富有，你很可能會像其他發達國家的人一樣長壽。」但是，相反，如果你很窮，「你的壽命將縮短10到15年」。
If you're rich in America, the odds are you'll live as long as people in other developed countries.

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."
佛蒙特州參議員分享了一段視頻，他在視頻中談到了這個問題。他說，當被問及當前醫療體系的狀況時，大多數人無一例外地說：「我們今天的醫療保健系統已經崩潰」。
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.
他說：「當人們說他們是對的。」桑德斯補充說：「在當今的美國，我們人均醫療保健支出是任何其他國家人民的兩倍。」但是，他指出，相比之下，美國的結果更差。
"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."
「我們的預期壽命遠遠落後於許多其他國家，在美國，頂層人群和工人階級之間的預期壽命爲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."
爲何重要：桑德斯的觀點是在美國持續討論醫療改革之後發表的。鑑於他此前曾批評Biogen和百時美施貴寶等公司的藥品價格居高不下，他對藥品定價的評論尤其重要。桑德斯此前曾表示：「在美國生病並不意味着破產、失去房屋、汽車或人生積蓄。」
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，桑德斯對即將舉行的選舉的評論凸顯了他的信念，即對於希望看到當前醫療體系發生變化的選民來說，選擇是明確的。他此前曾批評過有利於億萬富翁而不是普通公民的政策。
