It's actually kind of funny because the SAFE act or voter id, one of the reasons they're saying they're pushing for it is Americans support it, but they don't support the actual bill once they understand what the bill does. But Medicare for All, even when we explain what it does, we have over 75% of Americans that support the bill. And so if we are going by what is popular with the American people, I tell the majority to pass the Medicare for All act and to get it done for the American people. (1:02:56–1:03:05)
