SA 550. Mr. SANDERS submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by
him to the bill H.R. 1628, to provide for reconciliation pursuant to
title II of the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year
2017; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:
At the appropriate place, insert the following:
SEC. __. SENSE OF THE SENATE THAT HEALTH CARE IS A RIGHT.
It is the sense of the Senate that--
(1) the United States should join every other major country
on Earth and guarantee health care to all as a right, not a
privilege; and
(2) it is time to end the absurdity that the United States
spends far more per capita on health care and pays the
highest prices in the world for prescription drugs.
