a health care system that is not working. what is your response? my response is obamacare is working. the way to build this and get to it immediately is to build on obamacare. go back and take back all the things that trump took away, provide a public option, meaning every single person in america would be able to buy another option if they didn t like their employer plan or on medicaid they would automatically be in the plan. i would take place immediately and move quickly and it would ensure the vast, vast, vast majority of americans. in the meantime, what happens? did anybody tell you how much their plans cost? my plans cost $750 billion. that s what it cost. not $30 trillion. thank you, mr. vice president. senator gill la braibrand you s medicare for all. who do you think about her calling it medicare for all when it includes a far more significant role for private insurance than the bill you
chance to pick for their family if they want private or public insurance and requires drug companies to be negotiated with by medicare and provides competition. that is totally different from the plan that senator warren and senator sanders and senator harris have proposed which would make illegal employer-based health insurance in this country and massively raise taxes on the middle class to the tune of $30 trillion as joe biden said. we don t need to do that. it doesn t make sense for us to take away insurance from half the people in this room and put huge taxes on almost everybody in this room when we can pass a public option, trust the american people to make the right decision and have universal health care in this country in two years, not ten years. thank you, secretary kals str castro, i i ll come to you afte
said privately. that is not what i do. what i do say to you is, he moved to fundamentally change the system. that s what he did. that s what he did. but much more has to be done, much more has to be done i still don t have an answer. first of all, you can t have it both ways. you invoke president obama more than anybody in this campaign. you can t do it when it s convenient and dodge it when it s not. and the second thing, and this irks me. if you got a ph.d., you can come right into this country. that s playing into what the republicans want, to pit some immigrants against some immigrants. some are from shit hole countries. we need to be the country that says everyone has worth and dignity and this should be a country that honors everyone. don t let the republicans divide this party against itself. senator, thank you. mr. vice president, your response? that s what i said about this
