Sen. Bennet: ‘Disgrace’ that We Are the Only Industrialized Country in the World that Doesn’t Cover Everybody

EXCERPT:

BENNET: “Well, first of all, there are two big projects for America I think on health care. One is covering everybody. It is a disgrace that we are the only industrialized country in the world that doesn’t cover everybody. And the other thing we need to figure out how to do is not spend twice as much on health care as we spend as any other industrialized country spends on health care to get worse results. That’s what we’re doing as a country. We have to figure out how to do those two things. And I actually would give the Nobel prize to whoever who can figure out how to do those two things. But just speaking personally, I think the idea we’ll go out and offer to take insurance away from 180 million people — you mentioned the Affordable Care Act. Remember when President Obama said if you like your insurance you can keep your insurance and then, you know, a few people in America actually lost their insurance because of the way the plan worked.”
