DNC Chair Repeatedly Ducks on if She Supports Sanders’ or Clinton’s Health Plan

Blitzer: ‘And let me try a third time, do you want health care all over the country like Bernie Sanders?’

BLITZER: “Are you with Hillary Clinton or with Bernie Sanders on the issue of improving health care for Americans? Hillary Clinton says she wants to improve the Affordable Care Act and make it work better, and Bernie Sanders basically says, remove the Affordable Care Act and allow Medicare which is available for seniors now in the United States to be a available to all Americans. Congresswoman, do you believe that Hillary Clinton’s pragmatic approach is best or Bernie Sanders more idealistic approach to have medicare for all is a better stance? Where to you stand?”
SCHULTZ: “Wolf, I’m very proud that we have candidates lunatic Republicans who all want to lock and stock, and repeal the Affordable Care Act, and take away access to health care for 19 million people, and make sure that the seniors have a doughnut hole, and prescription drug gap again and increase their prescription drug costs and take away the insurance from people who want to have their children stay on their parents’ insurance until they are 26.”
BLITZER: “And I understand that. But where to you stand on the difference of Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton on the future of health care in America?"
SCHULTZ: “Well, the point is that I don’t really see it as a a split. Our candidates believe that health care is a right and not a privilege. And we want to continue to do everything we can  to build on making sure that more people and not fewer have more access to health care. So as I said, there is a difference of approaches and I was in Congress and not only proud to support and sponsor the legislation that I was adding to it to help people who have breast cancer, and I agree with both Senator Sanders and Hillary Clinton that we have to do everything we can to improve and build on the Affordable Care Act, and make sure we help everybody to get access to health care which is what Democrats believe.”
BLITZER: “And let me try a third time, do you want Medicare program for all like Bernie Sanders wants?”
SCHULTZ: “I want to make sure that we continue to improve on the Affordable Health Care Act and ensure that everybody in America has health care.”
