Buttigieg: Nevada Union Workers ‘Not Interested’ in Sanders’ ‘Vision of Eliminating All Private Plans’

EXCERPT:

BUTTIGIEG: “Well, Nevada is a good example of a place where there is — there are a lot of union workers who sometimes gave concessions on wages in order to get excellent plans, I’m thinking about culinary workers, for example, a lot of folks across the AFL who are prioritizing health care as an issue and they are not interested in Senator Sanders’ vision of eliminating all private plans because they actually got and fought for good health care coverage that they have right now. If the choose is between Senator Sanders telling them they’re going to have to give that up and me saying that we can enhance and increase choice without asking them to -- to sacrifice what they have worked so hard for, I think that is a very good debate for us to have and I’m looking forward to having that debate.”
