but he never fails to mention the ultimate goal and moving the needle in a certain direction.

Other countries have figured out how to deliver HC to the majority of their citizens at a lowest cost, why are we so behind?

We cannot expect to remain a great nation if our citizens are unhealthy and undereducated. This did not just crop up overnight, we have been declining for decades, all the while shouting our nation is the best, slogans only get one so far.

You have to continuously move the needle in the direction you think is the best, Sanders understands the long game.

I would have loved a Sanders vs Trump matchup.
