Bernie Sanders explained how Medicare for All would positively impact Americans amid the coronavirus pandemic during a visit to LateNightSeth
"A Medicare for All system is designed to provide quality care for all to do preventive work in order to prepare for some types of pandemics, not simply to make huge amounts of money for the insurance companies and the drug companies," Sanders said on 'Late Night.'
Sanders next touched on how Americans pay "twice as much per person on health care as any other nation and yet our public health system is so weak." He added that doctors and nurses are running low on protective equipment to keep both themselves and their patients safe. Sanders told Meyers that he used sarcasm to mask his outrage. "You have folks in the Senate, my Republican colleagues, who voted for a trillion dollars in tax breaks for the 1 percent and large corporations," he said.
Sanders later spoke about how some of his opponents believe that we should accept that people will die from COVID-19.
