we got 50 votes. the republicans i think we should pay a little bit of attention to the fact that there s not one republican prepared to stand up to the pharmaceutical industry or the fossil fuel industry or the health insurance companies, you know, or the billionaires who want to continue to get their tax breaks and enjoy their loopholes. not one republican. but in truth that is the leverage that any one member of the democratic caucus has. look, i could go to chuck schumer, the majority leader, and say, chuck, you know that i believe that our current health care system is totally dysfunctional, wasteful, expensive. we pay the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs. unless you put a medicare for all single pair program into reconciliation package, i m not voting for it. i could do that tomorrow, rachel. but that would be unfair to do, you know?
be what they, want full stop, 100 percent? or they will vote for the bill it all it ll die? that s the threat, that is exactly the threat. the threat is, and i hope everyone understands this. we have 50 votes, through republicans, i think we should pay a little bit of attention to the fact that there s one propublica and repaired to stand up to the pharmaceutical industry, to the fossil fuel industry, or the health insurance companies, or the billionaires who want to continue to get their tax breaks, and enjoy their loopholes. in truth, that is the leverage, that anyone member of the democratic caucus said, i could go to chuck schumer, the majority, leader and said chuck, you know that i believe that our current health care system is totally dysfunctional. wasteful, expensive, we pay the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs, unless you put a medicare for all single payer program into reconciliation package, i m not voting for. i can do that tomorrow.
