i don't know if there's a time when in the letters 99 american healthcare workers signed them. 99 americanned them. we called for an arms embargo, for a meeting with the biden administration, and no response from anybody. i know through personal contacts that it's been seen by kamala harris. i don't know that it's been seen by joe biden specifically. certainly it's reached his handlers, but it's very frustrating. i can't think of a time when 99 american physicians have written to describe eyewitness testimony of clear and obvious war crimes being committed in a systematic, ongoing, widespread fashion running over more than a year and received no response from the sitting president of the united states who incidentally is a liberal democrat. that was pretty unusual. >> there was some concern and a year on we're seeing horrific, heartbreaking videos of children being killed in the most cruel and violent ways. you talked about why you volunteered. you've done it elsewhere. what precedent does this set if israel's war continues to go on in this way and gets away with it for civilians in war zo

given the candidates policies on healthcare, where you stand on what the government should be doing when it comes to americansinvolved in what should all responsible of individual americans? >> absolutely.ol american progress action we believe everyone should be access to affordable health insurance. health care is a right. the role of the government should be to facilitate the pickup of affordable health insurance as much as possible to make sure that when people go to the doctor they know they're getting high-quality care and when their purchasing insurance they are getting a good product that enables them to access the providers they need at the government should also be setting the rules of the road, making sure that in the system we have all entities are playing by the rules, doing what they can to look out for the best interests of the american public and again ensuring everyone in this country has access to the best health care in the world. host: is there anything about that you disagree with? guest: i do not disagree with everyone having access to health care. that is what everyone wants. i happen to

there is a group of people that think government is probably the only way we will get the healthcare that all americans want. >> okay. you have medicaid or you have the exchanges if you don't. i would say it is probably less about the expansion of healthcare and more about the benefits that you would be entitled to under healthcare. i think the more emerging issue and the democrats kind of illness, republicans have rejected it, should they negotiate with pharmaceutical companies on drug pricing. that, to me, is a central issue rather than what you said. what types of healthcare and what services provided within the healthcare system should be guaranteed. >> on top of that, should it be a change within themselves. should it be an option that the government has there. in terms of that versus a single-payer health care system which i think for a lot of reasons, not just because of republican oppositions or democratic oppositions, i think in terms of forward. that would be where i think you will see some of that. >> inches interesting, too. agreeing with you, congresswoman medicare for all does not hold ve

healthcare reform. the gallup poll said 77% of americans were unhappy with healthcare. the democrats controlled the house and senate and it seemed a good landscape to support him. the year before, something like 17 republicans had their own healthcare bill and he starts pushing his bill in 1993. all of a sudden a corporate corporate lobby or, the healthcare insurance companies came in to defeat healthcare insurance reform. the campaign spent about $100 million lobbying against the bill. to put that into perspective, when bill clinton ran for election, he spent about $100 million to get reelected and that is how much one company put against his healthcare bill. obviously, the industry and then instead he switched after seeing how much power they had. there were a bunch of proposals that were more pro- company. so, that one bill and one effort really changed. the other story that is fascinating is the fact that the lobbyist of genentech when he first became a lobbyist, he just realized that the best policy was not to talk to members of congress by two talk to the public a

group of peopled who think government probably is the only way we're going to get the healthcare that all americans want. >> i would say okay, you've got medicaid or jump the exchanges if you don't have employer-sponsored healthcare. .. healthcare and more about the benefits that you would be entitled to under healthcare. i think the more emerging issue and the democrats kind of illness, republicans have rejected it, should they negotiate with pharmaceutical companies on drug pricing. that, to me, is a >> you said i think what you said framed differently as what types of health care and what services provided within the health care system should be guaranteed. >> and also, ask that they be right on top of that, should the government be an agent of change within insurance itself. should it be an option that the government that is there. that's maybe-- in terms of that versus a single payer health care system, which i think for a lot of reasons, not just because of the republican opposition to it, some democratic opposition to it, i think really in terms of moving this incrementally further forward,

i would say that is a recipient of government healthcare, my opponent has many timesnt that that he's thrilledo have it yet he does not feel like americansare entitled to healthcare have a problem without the bottom line is thise a step is not perfect. the portable careld act can be improved, we need to strengthen it and i guess what we heard is on separate plan for my pilot but no real policy recommendation. >> the next question goes to first candidate derrick anderson. >> what would you to ensure social security is available for future generations. >> i want to make sure we keep the social security to medicaid on the books and we need to do this especially when we have the economy is in complete disarray right now i look we talk about medicare for all my put us that he has no policy but he did not save to support medicare for all we would absolutely kill medicare for senior citizens actually kill an increase taxes and again you make your private healthcare take it away in order for us make sure the social security thrice we gotta makes sure you companies make sure that we have jobs and because quite often that we see about it when for

republicans as the need for assistance grew in their own backyard, a larger share of americans are seniors and healthcareen guy rocketing but it election year with economy and inflation and the debt are big topics, this analysis does matter. >> it sure does when you have all the student forgiveness of loans and subsidies and giveaways, people start to depend on it. >> this is not a good sign for the nation at large, the number going from 1% to what is that now is pretty astonishing. for most americans to hear frankly i think this is a challenge for republican governors used all the state that leads the way those are primarily red states, i wish we had a little bit more action from some republican governors to take the crisis head-on and do as republican party has logged preach, lift people up by their own bootstraps. i think this is a challenge that we as a party need to address. maria: how do you see it. >> i think he's right 1 - 15% is startling and the more effective in getting people the public is docket for a country we are based on merit and i think that's what people want to get back to you. >> it

americans at home listening to this to really pay attention to what we're talking about here. we are talking about real things that impact our life every single day and when it comes to healthcare type of coverage americans will be able to get, the type of insurance americans will be able to have, this is serious business and donald trump and jd vance continue to tell us what they are going to double down and continue to take away from us while continuing to sell americans to big pharmaceutical companies for campaign contributions, for spots in government cabinet positions. that is what trump does. so, walz is going to hold jd vance accountable when healthcare comes up. >> the conventional wisdom is a vice presidential debate doesn't make any difference. what do you think voters should be looking for in this debate and you think it is possible for this debate to have an effect? >> look, i think everything is important with the timeframe we've had in this unprecedented cycle and what i will say is that vice presidential debates do matter, especially when these vice presidential candidates are one heartbeat away from being the president of the united states and we see exactly how

one of the top problems facing americans is the high cost of healthcare. senator vance, at the last presidential debate, former president trump was asked about replacing the affordable care act. in response, he said, i have concepts of a plan. since then, senator, you talked about changing how chronically ill americans get health insurance. can you explain how that would work and can you guarantee that americans with pre-existing conditions won't pay more? i'll give you two minutes. >> of course, we're going to cover americans with pre-existing conditions. in fact, a lot of my family members have gotten healthcare, i believe members of my family got private health insurance for the first time, switched off of medicaid on to private insurance for first time under donald trump's leadership. i think that a lot of people have criticized this concept of a plan remark. it is very simple common sense. as tim walz knows, you're not going to propose a 900 page bill standing on a debate stage, it would bore everybody to tears and wouldn't mean anything because part

americans remain too high. that's why we're focused on trying to reduce the cost of healthcare through what we've done reducing e price ofiness din to $35. reducing the cost of medications for americans. taking steps to do those things are going to be important to making sure that we continue to make the progress we've made, not just bringing down inflation but bringing down the prices of things for americans. but one of the things that gives me confidence that we can do these things is the fact that we're seeing wages grow faster than inflation today. as long as we continue that progress in terms of prices come down -- coming down and wages going up, i feel very confident about the american economy. amna: can i quote you the latest poll because the economy is the top issue for americans. some 68% of those polled said that they think the economic conditions in america right now are fair or poor. only about 32% said that the nation's economy is excellent or good. what in your view is behind that pesimism right now? and what will it take for that to shift? >> as i mentioned earlier, if you look back just four yea
