Rand Paul: I Agree With Bernie Sanders More than GOP on Health Care (NTK Network)

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said at a Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee hearing on Thursday that he agrees with Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) plan for a government takeover of health care more than moderate GOP proposals to repeal and replace Obamacare.

“[Insurance companies] make $15 billion a year,” Paul said. “I don’t get it, why do you want to give money to the middle man?”

“I’m more with Bernie on this than I am with members of my party who subsidize it!” he exclaimed at the meeting. “You want to buy people health care? Buy them health care.”
