Bernie Sanders responds to critics of his push for Medicare-for all amid coronavirus pandemic. “Should we put politics aside and all come together? Of course we should,” he says, but adds “in coming together,” we have to “guarantee health care to all.”
Senator Bernie Sanders, exits the Capitol after a vote in Washington, D.C., March 18, 2020."Trump from the very beginning downplayed the threat of this virus. The idea that today we have doctors and nurses in this country that do not have masks that cost 50 cents or a dollar apiece is unbelievable," he said."Not enough ventilators, gloves, gowns. That speaks to this health care system, but right now we have to listen to the scientists.
“Last I heard people in a Democracy, have a right to vote and have a right to vote for the agenda that they think can work for America,” he said, adding, “In this unprecedented moment in American history, I think we need to have a very serious discussion about how we go forward.” “I think the main reason is that several of my opponents kind of dropped out right before Super Tuesday,” said Sanders.
His campaign, continuing to focus on fighting the impacts of the coronavirus, has mobilized its sophisticated volunteer network to call their senators to lobby for Sanders’ coronavirus-response plan, to update voters about changes to elections because of COVID-19 and to check on the well-being of fellow supporters.
