An interesting development from the last week: Hillary Clinton, apparently Feelin’ the Bern in Iowa and New Hampshire, has been attacking Bernie Sanders from the right.
“His plan would take Medicare and Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program and the Affordable Care Act health care insurance and private employer health insurance and he would take that all together and send health insurance to the states, turning over your and my health insurance to governors,” Clinton said, criticizing the Vermont socialist senator for his plan to turn the U.S. health-care system into a single-payer plan.
Even Chelsea has hit Bernie on the issue — indicating that this is a coordinated response from the Clintonistas — telling a New Hampshire audience on Tuesday, “Senator Sanders wants to dismantle Obamacare, dismantle the CHIP program, dismantle Medicare, and dismantle private insurance.”
Wow. Do the Clintons have Bernie confused with Ted Cruz?
But Sanders’s camp hasn’t hesitated to hit back, tweeting out an old picture of a certain someone thanking him for his “commitment to real health care access for all Americans.”
