The Democratic presidential contender later famous that Republicans, too, get sick, pay premiums and are uninterested in the excessive costs of health care in America.
“They're as anxious to get into Medicare once they’re 65 as anyone else,” he continued. “I’m not gonna to inform you every Republican supports Medicare for All — that’s not true — but a number of them do.”
