Good to see Amy call out Bernie's medicare for all bullshit pipe dream.
Also....
Bernie Sanders falsely claimed that half of the country was earning just $9 to $10 an hour.
The U.S Bureau of the Census estimated that the annual median personal income at $41,000 in 2019. That means that about half of Americans earn more than that, and half earn less. That makes Sanders’ claim that half of Americans earn less than $20,800 impossible.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar dismantled Bernie Sanders's vision for Medicare for All by pointing out that, all of its theoretical problems aside, it isn't practical because most Democrats don't support it.
"Over two-thirds of the Democrats in the U.S. Senate are not on the bill that you and Senator Warren are on ... You have numerous House members that put Nancy Pelosi in as speaker" who don't support Medicare for All..
"If you want to be practical and progressive at the same time, and have a plan and not a pipe dream, then you have to show how you're going to pay for it,"
Klobuchar is right — Medicare for All would not become law, not even under a President Sanders, not even if he were elected with a Democratic Senate majority. To build one's campaign on such a foundation of sand as this healthcare plan would be foolish.
