Former President Barack Obama is sending a cease-and-desist letter to South Carolina TV stations demanding they not air a Republican ad that misuse his words to attack his former Vice President, Joe Biden.
The Committee to Defend the President super PAC’s ad, which began airing Tuesday as part of a $250,000 ad buy, is the latest in a string of Republican efforts designed to torpedo Biden in an effort to keep him from facing President Donald Trump.

Trump attacks Biden as he knows who can beat him.

lining up for food is a good thing?

Bernie was talking about Nicaragua, here's video with context: https://youtu.be/_6liJbu9ZCY
So Bernie was praising Nicaragua - in 1985 - for feeding its people.
How'd that work out?

Ken, you’re a well traveled person from what I’ve gathered. I’m surprised you think Scandinavia is still a social democracy utopia. The government is not taking in nearly enough money that it spits out for a variety of reasons. Many articles out there....
I don’t know about Denmark soup kitchens but do know many Danes travel to Germany to buy everything from groceries to furniture to avoid the insane taxes.
Denmark has no minimum wage, so yea there’s that too.

Not really, but I do know that the poverty rates there are just a fraction of that in the United States, despite the fact that the US is the world's greatest economic powerhouse.

My employer pays 100% of my
My employer pays 100% of my health premium. I have the "platinum plan." As it's part of a larger group plan, it costs my employer around $9,000 a year. I have a $500 deductible with a $1,500 out of pocket max. It's a great plan. It sucks compared to our old plan though, which had no deductible or out of pocket max. In essence the new plan has been a $1,500 a year pay cut.
The plan is offered to my dependents under 26, unsubsidized. For my oldest daughter, it was cheaper to pick up the insurance offered through her college. My youngest, also in college, is simply on Medicare. She claims herself, doesn't make much money, and has the best healthcare of anyone in the family.
There is absolutely no reason why everyone can't be insured, and for much, much lower costs.
