ABC News Debunks Bernie Sanders’ Claim that 1 in 5 Americans Can’t Afford Medicine

by Spencer Irvine on

When ABC News fact checks you, Bernie Sanders, that’s a new low:

Fact Check: One in Five Cannot Afford Medicine

Claim: One in five Americans can’t afford their medicine

Rating: Mostly false. Even more have some difficulty paying, but CDC most recently reported that only 5.6% actually go without medicine due to cost.
