Another video of former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has
resurfaced. Back in 2011, the billionaire paid his respects to the Segal
family for the passing of Rabbi Moshe Segal of Flatbush. During that
time, Jewish families undergo Shiva, a 7-day mourning period. Bloomberg
stopped by to issue his condolences to the family.
Interestingly enough, the then-mayor used the opportunity to talk about overcrowding in emergency rooms, Obamacare and a range of other issues, The Yeshiva World reported at the time. One of those topics included denying health care to the elderly.
"They'll fix what they can right away. If you're bleeding, they'll stop the bleeding. If you need an x-ray, you're gonna have to wait," Bloomberg said. "All of these costs keep going up. Nobody wants to pay any more money and, at the rate we're going, health care is going to bankrupt us."
