Tapper: “Will you raise taxes for the middle class?”
Bernie: I’m talking about no deductibles and no copays
Jake, your question is a Republican talking point.
And by the way the healthcare industry will be advertising on this program with that talking point. #DemDebate
When Tapper then put forward the argument against Medicare for All offered by Joe Biden — that union members who have fought for good health care plans should be allowed to keep them — Sanders shut down criticism by Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio, another centrist, of what his plan would provide. “But you don’t know that, Bernie,” Ryan interjected. Sanders replied: “I do know it, I wrote the damn bill.”
Ryan said Sanders’ promises around "Medicare for All" were wrong and maybe he wasn’t clear on the numbers.
Sanders: "I wrote the damn bill." cnn.it/2K3wQhQ #DemDebate
"Maybe you did that and made money off healthcare, but our job is to run a nonprofit healthcare system" @BernieSanders #DemDebate
DON'T OVERLOOK THIS:

LaChance writes: "Several centrist pundits have chosen former Rep. John Delaney as a winner of Tuesday's Democratic debate over his criticism of Medicare for All. Yes, you read that right: people who are paid to analyze politics watched Delaney fall flat on his face and concluded that this behavior would in fact make him popular."
Delaney, conveniently, was the chief executive of a health care company in the ‘90s and is the nephew of former Aetna CEO John Rowe. In 1999, Delaney sold his company for $30 million.
