Our energy policies redistribute the wealth upwards. The health care system redistributes the wealth upwards. You know, the tax system is about redistributing the wealth upwards.
Right now, it’s all about a redistribution of the wealth upwards, Tim. Kucinich responding a to question about the super rich: In this race, why shouldn’t Democrats stand for universal single-payer not-for-profit, with 46 million Americans under- uninsured and 50 million Americans underinsured? We don’t have universal health care because of drug companies, insurance companies and their lobbyists.ĭennis Kucinich talking about what makes him different:Īnd I’m the only one up here who stands for a not-for-profit health care system, which means that the insurance industry has enormous influence.

You know, I - I believe in Santa Claus, I believe in the Tooth Fairy, but I don’t think that’s going to happen. I helped to bring health care to 6 million children while in the White House. I fought for expanded education and health care in Arkansas. Well, I think that anyone who’s looked at my record of 35 years fighting, for women and children and people who feel invisible and left out in this country, knows my record. Hillary Clinton on her record working on health care issues: Topics included universal health care, drawing talented people to the health care field, cancer research and marijuana decriminalization.
