In front of a Pennsylvania crowd, Sanders made his case for a government-run health care plan and responded to criticism that it would end private insurance.
Sen. Bernie Sanders spent much of a Fox News town hall Monday discussing his signature"Medicare for All" proposal, which has energized liberals and fueled conservative backlash.
Baier then asked whether people would be willing to transition to a government-run health system as described by Sanders. Roughly the same number of attendees raised their hands. Some audience members cheered. Baier noted during the town hall that the crowd included Democrats, Republicans and independents.
"Not surprisingly, @BretBaier and the 'audience' was so smiley and nice. Very strange, and now we have @donnabrazile?" Trump added, referencing the former interim Democratic National Committee chair who recently joined Fox as a contributor. "Millions of people every single year lose their health insurance," Sanders responded."You know why? They get fired, or they quit and they go to another employer."
