Biden Hits Harris: ‘You Can’t Beat Trump with Double Talk’ on Your Health Care Plans

‘Any time someone tells you you’re going to get something good in ten years, you should wonder why it takes ten years’

EXCERPT:

BIDEN: "My response is that the Senator's had several plans so far and any time someone tells you you’re going to get something good in ten years, you should wonder why it takes ten years. If you notice, there is no talk about the fact that the plan in ten years will cost $3 trillion. You will lose your employer-based insurance and in fact, you know, this is the single most important issue facing the public. And to be very blunt and to be very straightforward, you can’t beat President Trump with double talk on this plan."

BASH: "Your response, Senator Harris."

HARRIS: "Absolutely. Unfortunately, Vice President Biden, you’re just simply inaccurate in what you're describing. The reality is that our plan will bring health care to all Americans under a Medicare for All system. Our plan will allow people to start signing up on the first day, babies will be born into our plan and right now, 4 million babies almost are born every day in America— or every year in America. Under our plan, we will ensure that everyone has access to health care. Your plan, by contrast, leaves out almost 10 million Americans. So I think that you should really think about what you’re saying but be reflective and understand that the people of America want access to health care and do not want cost to be their barrier to getting it."
