You know when I'm talking to folks who have a $15,000 deductible and just paid $600 to go for a five minute med check that is not sustainable. I co chaired the campaign to raise the minimum wage here in Minnesota. The fact that they haven't increased the minimum wage in Washington D.C. in over 16 years and it's still until $7.25 is completely appalling. So I am very clear that we need a $17 minimum wage at least and then we need to index it to inflation. (00:53–01:02)
