[ 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
thank you congressman. i want to bring in senator klobuchar. senator warren at the beginning of the night said that democrats cannot bring cannot win the white house with small ideas and spinelessness. she said politicians not supporting medicare for all simply lack the will to fight for it. you do not support medicare for all. is senator warren correct? do you not lack the will to tice f fight for it? that is false. in my first debate i was called a street fighter from the iron range. when she said it, i said thank you. this is what i think we need to get done. we need the public option. that s what barack obama wanted and it would bring health care costs down for everyone, and by the way, i just don t buy this. i ve heard some of these candidates say that it s somehow not moral if you not moral to not have that public option. well, senator sanders was actually on a public option bill last year and that was bernie the medicaid public option bill
all the money, give it back to the american people in a dividend. that was introduced on a bipartisan basis. it s the only significant bipartisan climate bill in the congress. i m going to increase the department of energy research budget by five fold because we fundamentally have to innovate our way out of the problem. i m going to create a market for direct air capture, which are machines that actually take carbon out of the atmosphere, i don t think we ll get to net zero by 2050 unless we have those things. increase investment in renewables and create something called the climate core. that is a plan that s real i guess realistic, a bet on the economy, and creates incentives to get us to net zero by 2050 for our kids. senator warren, you re a cosponsor of the green new deal, your response. climate crisis is the existential crisis for our world, it puts every living thing on this planet at risk. i have a plan for a green
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
i believe that immigrants don t diminish america, they are america and if you want to do something about border security, you first of all change the rules so then you pass the bill, and what the bill will do is it will greatly reduce the deficit and give us some money for border security and for border processing the cases and most of all, it will allow for a path to citizenship. because this is not just about the border. thank you. donald trump wants to use these people as political pawns. thank you senator klobuchar. when we have people all over our country who simply want to work and obey the law. senator sandsers you want to provide undocumented immigrants free health care and free college, why won t this drive even more people to come to the u.s. illegally. we ll have strong border protections but the main point i want to make is that what trump is doing through his racism and his xenophobia is demonizing a group of people.
