Sanders on Health Care Bill: ‘What They Are Doing Is Making a Bad Situation Much Worse’

‘What they will move toward is a system in which you will have catastrophic health insurance’

EXCERPT:

SANDERS: "At the end of the day, let's also not forget, Andrea, that we have a president — I know I will shock your viewers by suggesting he doesn't always tell the truth. But this is a guy who campaigned by saying, 'I'm going to provide health care for all Americans. It's going to be great, fantastic. All Americans!' It's a lie. Over 20 million people lose their health insurance. What they will move toward is a system in which you will have catastrophic health insurance. You will have very high deductibles, very high copayments. It will cover very little. It will be in many cases cheap but you are not going to have the health insurance you need to protect yourself and your family. So instead of improving the Affordable Care Act, which needs improvement, what they are doing is making a bad situation much worse."
