## Transcript

My proposal, a medicare for all, single payer program, will save, [ APPLAUSE ] will save middle class families, many thousands of dollars a year, in their health care costs. Public colleges, and universities tuition free, damn right. That is exactly where we should be going [ APPLAUSE ] [ APPLAUSE ] Most of the people who have analyzed what Senator Sanders put out, remember he had a plan for about, 18, 20 years, he'd change in the middle of his campaign, he's put out another plan, people have been analyzing the new plan, and there is no doubt by those who have analyzed it, progressive economists, health economists and the like That it would pose an incredible burden.

Not just on the budget, but on individuals. In fact, the Washington Post called it a trainwreck for the poor. A working woman on Medicaid who already has health insurance would be expected to pay about $ 2300. The same for free college. The free college offer, you know, my late father said, if somebody promises you something for free, read the fine print. Thank you Secretary. [ APPLAUSE ] Really? And here what it says. The fine print says this, that the federal government will cover two- thirds of the cost. All right, okay. And require the states, even those led by Republican governors. Senator, go ahead.

Thank you. To carry out what the remaining one third [ CROSSTALK ]. [ CROSSTALK ] what Secretary Clinton is saying. Secretary, please. We are not a country that has the courage to stand up to big money and do what has to be done for the working families in this country. [ APPLAUSE ] Secretary Clinton will have to explain [ APPLAUSE ] For the people of our country. How it could be that every other major country on Earth manages to guarantee healthcare to all of their people spending significantly less per capita than we can? I live 50 miles away from Canada. It's not some kind of communist authoritarian country.

They're doing okay.
