Grover Norquist: Bernie Sanders Doesn’t Understand Economics

‘It is one of Bernie Sanders idea’

EXCERPT:

VARNEY: "Aren't they just being smart politicians? After all, if the big issue is the price of health care and in particular the price of these drugs, if a politician comes along and says I can get it cheaper and you're going to benefit, they're going to do it."

NORQUIST: "We understand that when Bernie Sanders says it because he doesn't understand economics. There is an important way we can reduce the cost of drugs in the United States and get them to people sooner and get more innovation and solve some of these health problems sooner. And that is to speed up the FDA's efforts to get new drugs out once they're safe. We did this for AIDS, we've done it in the past, we should do it for Alzheimer's and cancer and other drugs. That would reduce costs, that would get people more health care."
