Bernie Sanders: Of Course Everybody Would Have Paid Medical Leave in My System

EXCERPT:

SANDERS: “And that means that today there are people who are going to work who may well have symptoms of the coronavirus or other illnesses, and in the midst of this crisis when we do not want people going to work who are sick, who may have the coronavirus, we must guarantee that all people who do not go to work or self-quarantine themselves because they think they may have the virus receive a paycheck to keep their families and their own lives going. Not a radical idea. If we were living in the system we want to live in, that I want to see, of course, everybody would have paid medical leave. But we're not there. But in the midst of this crisis right now, I don’t want anybody because of lack of income to have to go to work and perhaps infect others because they’re afraid they’re not going to receive an income to take care of their family."
