but to just compare president obama and his record on deportation being horrific is absolutely wrong. it is lathesulatolates a lot of say i m compassionate, i want people to come in but we need a structure on doing so and a limit on how many people we let in. people asking like there was attacks made on barack obama. i think if barack obama were asked he d probably agree. health care, barack obama himself in 2018 gave pa speech he thought medicare for all was a good idea the democrats should be talking about. i remember joel was there in 2016 hillary clinton made similar arguments that vice president biden is making against singer payer and talked how bernie sanders was risking gains we made under affordable care act. no less official than david axelrod called that misleading at the time. said acting to build on aca to move towards single payer was not something that would undo barack obama s signature accomplishment. go ahead. primaries are laboratories. these are healthy discus
and showing you where they stand on the liberal to progressive spectrum. keep in mind, these aren t all of the candidates running and this isn t how they feel about the issues and we re looking at it in more general terms to give you an idea and the graphics we will show you are from the most liberal down closer to the moderate part of the political spectrum and we talk about healthcare, no doubt that bernie sanders was a leader in this respect. he s the first person to talk about medicare for all and he s been specific in his desire that they will keep the singer payer system and elizabeth warren. kamala harris and cory booker have signed on to the medicare for all plan and they ve been more nuanced in their desire to get to that point and they may be pushing gradually to singer payer and keeping open a private insurance option. candidates like michael bloomberg and amy klobuchar talk about reforming obama care and keeping the option for private
that s what he wants. he wants to give people some relief, when they re forced to buy the product and have to pay a penalty they have some cushion. he should think about why people don t buy the plans in the first place. i think that s because the quality of the coverage is not very good. paul: dan, we ve had a test run here, right, vermont tried to put in singer payer under president obama, an earlier governor, during the obama administration. they even did a design. they gave up on it. wh well, they gave up on it because it would be too expensive. mayor de blasio announced his plans this week. there s a lot of money in the city, it s just in the wrong hands, a famous phrase. we take your money to pay for all of this. paul: is there a better definition of socialism than that? no. paul: that is pure socialism. vermont, bernie sanders is from vermont. they tried one of these public health plans like this. they found they would have to raise the payroll tax to about

to approve the benefits of medicare. so we re saying to people understand what it is what it means to the individual. and that is a fair review that we should have. you will have hearings now on that. we ll have hearings on the subject. and again i have said before i even came to congress i was out there with signs that said single payor because that is the least costly administratively of all. singer payer is not exactly same as medicare for all. but what does it cost? 30 trillion dollars to do single player. how do you pay for that. okay? affordable care act has a way for people to participate as a mandate. no free riders. the medicare for all you have to review. what are the benefits? and people have to understand that. and if we expand the benefits how is that how do you pay for it. and one of the earlier steps off the take before you even add a
