Pennsylvania 8th Congressional District Debate

Published | Video Starts at 44:19

If his Medicare for All proposal makes it through to law with Bernie Sanders and John Fetterman, seniors across the country will die because of Medicare for all. Thank you, Mr. Bond. A rebuttal from Mr. Cartwright. I make no secret of the fact that I like the idea of Medicare for All, but it has to be done in a way that does not hurt existing enrollees benefits, does not hurt the providers. They have to be able to make a living and does not hurt the hospitals. We got more work to do on that. But in the meantime, I want coverage for as many people as possible. (44:19–44:32)
