Bernie Sanders (2019) - Healthcare, Cannabis and Opioids

This recap episode features Bernie Sanders discussing a range of pressing political and social issues in the United States. Sanders critiques the format of political debates, advocating for more in-depth discussions, and addresses the high cost of healthcare and prescription drugs, attributing it to the influence of powerful lobbying groups and corporate greed. He also touches upon wealth inequality, criminal justice reform, the legalisation of marijuana, the opioid crisis, the impact of poverty on communities, and the urgent need to address climate change, emphasising the importance of collective action and a shift away from fossil fuels. The conversation highlights Sanders's views on systemic problems and his proposals for significant policy changes, including a tax on Wall Street speculation to fund education and the cancellation of student debt.---We all love The Joe Rogan Experience and much prefer the real thing, but sometimes it's not possible to listen to an entire episode or you just want to recap an episode you've previously listened to.
