Sanders Dodges on Whether Union Employees Will Be Able To Keep Their Health Care Plan Under ‘Medicare for All’

‘In the United States, we spend twice as much per capita on health care as do the people of any other nation’

EXCERPT:

SANDERS: "In the United States, we spend twice as much per capita on health care as do the people of any other nation. And despite all of that spending, you got 87 million people who are uninsured and underinsured, you got 5,000 people — 500,000 people a year who go bankrupt and 30,000 people die. And we pay by far the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs. So while all people, so many people are uninsured or underinsured, it turns out that the health care industry last year made $100 billion in profit. The function of health care is to provide quality care to all people, not huge profits."
TRIMBLE: "But a lot of these people like it."
