What the President done is unbelievable. How do you appoint the guy, who was a member of the United States Senate, make him attorney general, and then undermine him and then humiliate him?
You, Mr. President, and your Republican colleagues will be held accountable.
I believe we should move towards a Medicare for all single payer programs like every other major country guaranteeing health care to all people.
You can't write a bill behind closed doors without any public hearings and without any serious debate.
This is not what Bernie Sanders said, Anderson. This is what study after study has shown. ... what study after study shows, is that many, many thousands of people will die.
What Trump thinks is a great step forward is part of his belief that we should throw 22 million people off of health insurance, raise premiums for all the workers and cut Medicaid by $800 billion. That's not what the American people think…
Last I heard the President was a Republican, the Republicans had majority in the House and Senate. They control the United States government.
The last poll that I saw on the Republican proposal had the support of 12 percent of the American people.
The answer is absolutely. And that is why there are many of us who are talking about ways that we can significantly improve the Affordable Care Act.
Well, I think it's really beyond belief that we have a President of the United States who is working over time to sabotage the healthcare that millions of Americans receive.
We want to maintain the strength of the VA, and what we do not want to do is, piece by piece, dismantle the VA.
I think there are folks who spend hundreds of millions of dollars in the political process who want to do just that.
Our job is to strengthen the VA, to make it the best that it can, and where appropriate, to make sure that people do have the opportunity to go outside of the VA.
The American people are saying, 'Enough is enough. We need to create an economy that works for all of us, not just the people on top.
The American people want us to deal with the crisis that they face right now today.
We have got to tell the billionaire class, who are doing phenomenally well, that Trump is serving so arduously right now.
What we are for is to raise the minimum wage to a living wage, to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure.
We have got to raise the minimum wage to a living wage, 15 bucks an hour, pay equity for women.
