Chelsea Clinton attacking Bernie - [View all]

"Sen. Sanders wants to dismantle ObamaCare,” Clinton said Tuesday in New Hampshire, according to NBC News, at her first stop along the campaign trail. The daughter of Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton referred to a bill Sanders has introduced three times that would replace Affordable Care Act programs with a new national American Health Security Trust Fund, which would allow states to run their own single-payer systems with federal money. Chelsea Clinton said Sanders would also “dismantle Medicare and dismantle private insurance,” as well as strip away benefits from the Children’s Health Insurance Program, which was created under her father’s presidency.

Dismantling a give away program to the insurance and pharma companies is not a bad thing - particularly when the idea is to cover MORE people with a comprehensive single payer system. Social Security and Health Security would be paid for with public monies - tax dollars. Why would a democrat fight such a plan?
