[ applause ] second of all, many of our union brothers and sisters, nobody more prounion than me up here are now paying high deductibles and co-payments and when we do medicare for all, instead of having the company putting money into health care, they can get descent wage increases which they are not getting today. i want to bring in congressman ryan to respond? senator sanders does not know the union contracts in the united states. i m trying to explain that these union members are loosing their jobs. their wages have been stagnant. the world is crumbling around them. the only thing they have is possibly really good health care, and the democratic message is going to be we re going to go in and the only thing you have left, we re going to take and do better. i do not think that s a recipe for success for us. it s bad policy and it s certainly bad politics. congressman delaney. the bill that senator sanders drafted by definition will lower quality in health care because
conventional politics will not solve this problem because conventional politics is part of the problem. we the american people must rise up and do what we do best and create a new possibility, say no to what we don t want and yes to what we know can be true. i m marianne williamson and that s why i m running for president. congressman john delaney. folks, we have a choice. we can go down the road that senator sanders and senator warren want to take us with bad policies like medicare for all, free everything, and impossible promises that will turn off independent voters and get trump reelected. that s what happened with the others or we can nominate someone with new ideas to create universal health care for every american with choice, someone who wants to unify our country and grow the economy and create jobs everywhere and then we win the white house. i m the product of the american
the health care industry will be advertising tonight on this program thank you, senator. senator warren, it s your turn. please your time is up. they will be advertising tonight with that talking point. senator warren. we have to think of this in terms of big frame. what s the problem in washington? it works great for the wealthy. it works great for those who can hire armies of lobbyists and lawyers and it keeps working great for the insurance companies and the drug companies. what it s going to take is real courage to fight back against them. these insurance companies do not have a god given right to make $23 billion in profits and suck it out of our health care system. thank you, senator. they do not have a god given right page 8 of the bill it says i ll let congressman delaney if we could all stick to the rules of the time, it would be great. i m the only one on the stage with experience in the health care business and with all due respect, i don t
people are scared. but we can t choose a candidate we don t believe in just because we re too scared to do anything else. and we can t ask other people to vote for a candidate we don t believe in. democrats win when we figure out what is right and we get out there and fight for it. i am not afraid and for democrats to win, you can t be afraid either. congressman delaney, your response? so i think democrats win when we run on real solutions, not impossible promises. when we run on things that are workable, not fairy tale economics, look at the story of detroit, this amazing city that we re in. this city is turning around because the government and the private sector are working well together. that has to be our model going forward. we need to encourage collaboration between the government, the private sector and the nonprofit sector, and focus on those kitchen table, pocketbook issues that matter to
the one person with whom i agree on almost nothing, donald trump to show that at the end of the day, we will put the american people first before party, before any other concern. thank you congressman o rourke. we have been asking voters to weigh in on what they would most like to hear democrats debate, among the topics they told us they are most interested in, the climate crisis. congress nan delaney, i ll start with you, the green new deal is about as realistic as trump saying mexico is going to pay for the wall. scientists say we need to essentially eliminate fossil fuel pollution by 2050 to avoid the most catastrophic consequences, why isn t this sweeping plan to fight the climate crisis realistic. first of all, because it ties its progress to other things that are completely unrelated to climate like universal health care, guaranteed government jobs and universal basic income. my plan gets us to net zero by 2050 which we absolutely have to do for our kids and grand kids will g
