Bernie Sanders challenges presidential hopefuls (and Trump) to refuse donations from pharmaceutical and health insurance companies
in the 2020 race, including President Donald Trump, to refuse donations from pharmaceutical and health insurance companies and their lobbying groups.
Sanders warned supporters to expect the industries to mobilize against his bill with ads, donations to opposing candidates and studies showing the policy’s downsides. "Medicare for All" "will be opposed by some of the most powerful special interests in our country — companies that have unlimited amounts of money,” he said. “But they are going to fail.
“Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the ability to see and hear and have teeth in your mouth is a health care issue," he said, drawing laughter from the audience. "So despite what you hear about Medicare for seniors being weakened, it will actually be strengthened.”
