Bernie Sanders, who advocated for a single-payer healthcare system during his campaign for presidency last year thinks Donald Trump’s newest statement on health care is hilarious.
Sanders appeared on Anderson Cooper 360 yesterday to talk about healthcare and responded to Trump’s recent statement: “Nobody knew health care could be so complicated.”
As Sanders, who believes healthcare is a right, not a privilege, stated in the interview:
“Well some of us who were sitting on the health education committee, who went to meeting after meeting after meeting, who heard from dozens of people, who stayed up night after night trying to figure out this thing, year—we got a clue.”
“When you provide health care in a nation of 300 million people, yeah, it is very, very complicated,” he continued. “And maybe now, maybe the president and some of the Republicans understand you can’t go beyond the rhetoric, ‘We’re going or repeal the Affordable Care Act, We’re going to repeal Obamacare and everything will be wonderful,’ a little bit more complicated than that.”
