From last night’s debate: (video)

SANDERS:…

You know what it all comes down to?

Do you know why we can’t do what every other country — major country on Earth is doing? It’s because we have a campaign finance system that is corrupt, we have super PACs, we have the pharmaceutical industry pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into campaign contributions and lobbying, and the private insurance companies as well.

What this is really about is not the rational way to go forward — it’s Medicare for all — it is whether we have the guts to stand up to the private insurance companies and all of their money, and the pharmaceutical industry. That’s what this debate should be about.

(APPLAUSE)

CLINTON: Well, as someone who — as someone who has a little bit of experience standing up to the health insurance industry, that spent, you know…

(APPLAUSE)

… many, many millions of dollars attacking me, and probably will so again, because of what I believe we can do building on the Affordable Care Act, I think it’s important to point out that there are a lot of reasons we have the health care system we have today.

I know how much money influences the political decision-making. That’s why I’m for huge campaign finance reform. However, we started a system that had private health insurance.
