Klobuchar: If I Was Trump, I Would Expand ObamaCare with a Public Option and Expand Medicare Down to 55

PSAKI Happened before I ░░░░░░░░ to ask you a ░░░░░░░░ bit about UnitedHealthcare the ░░░░░░░░ of the UnitedHealthcare CEO ░░░░░░░░ murder of him I ░░░░░░░░ he is from Minnesota ░░░░░░░░ There has been a ░░░░░░░░ online that I m ░░░░░░░░ going to characterize as ░░░░░░░░ I just was wondering ░░░░░░░░ you thought about it ░░░░░░░░ how that s something ░░░░░░░░ is a great deal ░░░░░░░░ frustration in this country ░░░░░░░░ our health care system ░░░░░░░░ what is your reaction ░░░░░░░░ all of it Klobuchar ░░░░░░░░ is a horrific murder ░░░░░░░░ the fact that this ░░░░░░░░ blooded killer is still ░░░░░░░░ there on the streets ░░░░░░░░ in America is also ░░░░░░░░ chilling So my first ░░░░░░░░ is on that investigation ░░░░░░░░ have a number of ░░░░░░░░ who work in Minnesota ░░░░░░░░ that company It s ░░░░░░░░ very hard thing That ░░░░░░░░ this idea that you ░░░░░░░░ support this killer I ░░░░░░░░ t agree with that ░░░░░░░░ do believe we need ░░░░░░░░ a reform So when ░░░░░░░░ hear Donald Trump talk ░░░░░░░░ how he is you ░░░░░░░░ doesn t like the ░░░░░░░░ Care Act I mean ░░░░░░░░ is the opposite direction ░░░░░░░░ need to go to ░░░░░░░░ our health care system ░░░░░░░░ I would do I ░░░░░░░░ expand the Affordable Care ░░░░░░░░ with a public option ░░░░░░░░ we considered before It ░░░░░░░░ time to do that ░░░░░░░░ you have an option ░░░░░░░░ doesn t involve private ░░░░░░░░ companies I would like ░░░░░░░░ see an expansion of ░░░░░░░░ That s another way ░░░░░░░░ do it At least ░░░░░░░░ to 55 So if ░░░░░░░░ go down to 55 ░░░░░░░░ you could be a ░░░░░░░░ better health care system ░░░░░░░░ could continue the work ░░░░░░░░ President Biden already did ░░░░░░░░ bringing down the cost ░░░░░░░░ pharmaceuticals not just with ░░░░░░░░ insulin cap he put ░░░░░░░░ which is fantastic but ░░░░░░░░ work my bill which ░░░░░░░░ to negotiate prices under ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump s administration ░░░░░░░░ going to have to ░░░░░░░░ that work They didn ░░░░░░░░ get it done when ░░░░░░░░ were in the last ░░░░░░░░ Democrats pushed this incredible ░░░░░░░░ through which is saving ░░░░░░░░ million seniors now 1 ░░░░░░░░ billion in just one ░░░░░░░░ for the first 10 ░░░░░░░░ 15 come up next ░░░░░░░░ 15 come up after ░░░░░░░░ So I think this ░░░░░░░░ that were made during ░░░░░░░░ campaigns from Republicans we ░░░░░░░░ going to hold them ░░░░░░░░ it We are happy ░░░░░░░░ find common ground where ░░░░░░░░ s common ground but ░░░░░░░░ will stand our ground ░░░░░░░░ we must That comes ░░░░░░░░ making sure the American ░░░░░░░░ are not screwed by ░░░░░░░░ a bunch of tax ░░░░░░░░ for billionaires that are ░░░░░░░░ like happened during the ░░░░░░░░ Trump Administration They could ░░░░░░░░ it even worse We ░░░░░░░░ t think that getting ░░░░░░░░ of the Affordable Care ░░░░░░░░ is going to help ░░░░░░░░ when it comes to ░░░░░░░░ things So my view ░░░░░░░░ that we need to ░░░░░░░░ our ground but yes ░░░░░░░░ there s a way ░░░░░░░░ find common ground childcare ░░░░░░░░ things they want to ░░░░░░░░ on we are more ░░░░░░░░ happy to work with ░░░░░░░░ on that PSAKI Senator ░░░░░░░░ the wearer of many ░░░░░░░░ I think I can ░░░░░░░░ you Klobuchar Yes Can ░░░░░░░░ wait to see you ░░░░░░░░ these hearings I hope ░░░░░░░░ come back.”
