Published | Video Starts at 00:38

How crazy is that? Our health care system is broken, is dysfunctional, and it's wildly expensive. Not one word from Trump about how he is going to address the health care crisis. We pay by far the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs, sometimes 10 times more than the people in other countries. (00:38–00:45)
