John Delaney: Dem ‘Notion of Making Private Insurance Illegal Is a Terrible Idea’

EXCERPT:

DELANEY: “I was the first person to say this notion of making private insurance illegal is a terrible idea. I was actually booed for it."
BREAM: "Right, I remember."
DELANEY: "But now, if you notice, all the Democratic candidates are backing away from it. I think Elizabeth Warren will pretty soon back away from it."
BREAM: "You do?"
DELANEY: "Yeah, I think so. Bernie Sanders has even backed away from it a little bit. So that’s the point of having a primary, to actually have a battle of ideas. I think every American should have health care as a basic right, but I don’t think we should get there by making private insurance illegal. That’s a terrible idea. So I think this campaign will start going our way because I think as more and more Americans start focusing on the race, most of those Americans want problem solvers. They don’t want people who are going to run on the extremes. They want people who will solve problems. That’s what I’m running on."
