'Let me tell you something, for a socialist you got a lot more confidence in corporate America than I do,' Biden said directly to Sanders.
Presidential candidate Vice President Joe Biden accidentally called Senator Bernie Sanders"the president" during the third Democratic primary debate in Houston, Texas on Thursday evening. He then followed up the gaffe by accusing Sanders of being a bad socialist.
"Everybody says we want an option. The option I'm proposing is Medicare for choice," Biden said."If you want Medicare, if you lost the job from your employer you automatically can buy into this. You don't have... No preexisting condition can stop you from buying in, you get covered, period. And if you notice nobody's yet said how much it's going to cost the taxpayer. I hear there's large savings.
"My friend from Vermont thinks...," he said with a chuckle,"that the employer's going to give you back if you negotiate.""Matter of fact, they will," Sanders snapped back.
