Sanders: If Medicare Is Working Well for Seniors, We Can Make a Medicare That’ll Work for All

‘It’s easy to say ObamaCare is not perfect’

RUSH EXCERPT:
SANDERS: "First of all, when you ask the American people about whether or not they like ObamaCare compared to your plan, overwhelmingly the American people like the Affordable Care Act... One second. Second of all, it's easy to beat up on big, bad federal government. Guys, do you know what the most popular health insurance program in America is? It's not the private insurance industry. It is -- Medicare, yeah... So the point is that it's easy to say ObamaCare is not perfect. Everybody knows that. But the truth is that what people in this country see is a health insurance system designed to make insurance companies and drug companies huge profits. They want a cost-effective system that deals with the needs of our people and not just the CEOs of large corporations. And that is why I personally believe that if Medicare is working well for seniors right now, we can make it work for everyone man, woman, and child in this country through a Medicare for all program."
