30,000 foot. I support Medicare for all. We're the only industrialized nation that doesn't have universal health care. Watching what the Republicans just did with the Affordable care Act with 4 million people lost access [to healthcare] because they got rid of a lot of the subsidies. After November, another 7 million people will lose access to Medicaid. And that means 11 million people lose access to health care. Healthcare just kickstart, and then those people are still gonna get sick. (05:16–05:21)
