Welcome to our viewers around the country and around the world. 10 president ial candidates took to the stage in detroit, michigan, tuesday night for the first of a twonight debate hosted by cnn. The evening was billed as the first showdown between the two leading progressives in the race, senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. But the two never criticize each other and spent much of the evening fending off attacks by a group of moderate rivals, including former maryland congressman john delaney. This is Elizabeth Warren. Democrats win when we figure out what is right and we get out there and fight for it. I am not afraid, and for democrats to win, you cannot be afraid either. Congressman delaney, your response . I think democrats win when we run on Real Solutions, not impossible promises. When we run on things that are workable, not fairytatale economicics. I dont understand why anybody goes to the trouble of running for president just to talk about what we cannot do and should not fight for. I dont get it. Our biggest problem in washington is corruption. It is giant corporations that have taken our government and that are holding it by the throat and we need to have the courage to fight back against that. Until we are ready to do that, it is just more of the same. The two democratic primary debates with an extended Discussion Health care. This is cnns jake tapper. Lets start with you. You support health care for all, which would take private Health Insurance away from more than 150 million americans in exchange for governmentsponsored health care for everyone. Congressman delaney just referred to it as bad policy, and previously he called the ideal the idea political suicide that would get President Trump reelected. What do you say to commerce meant delaney . You are wrong. [laughter and applause] right now we have a dysfunctional Health Care System , 87 million uninsured or under insured. 500,000 americans every year going bankrupt because of medical bills. Dying while the Healthcare Industry makes tens of billions of dollars in profits. Five minutes away from me is a country called canada. Have health care for every man, woman, and child as a human right. They spent half of what we spend, and by the way, when you end up in a hospital in canada, you come up with no bill at all. Elf care is a human right, not a privilege. Health care is a human right, not a privilege. I believe that and i will fight for that. We can create a universal Health Care System that gives everyone basic health care for free, and i have a proposal to do it. But we dont have to tell half the country who has private Health Insurance that their Health Insurance is illegal. My dad is a Union Electrician and loves the health care he got from the ice w. He would not want someone to take that away. Half of medicare fishy areas now have medicare advantage, which is private half of Medicare Beneficiaries now have medicare advantage, which is private. Warren . Or lets be clear about this. We are the democrats. We are not about trying to take away health care from anyone. That is what the republicans are trying to do. Can we stop using republican talking points in order to talk with each other about how to best provide health. I want to have a chance to tell the story about my friend. He is 35 years old. They have a cute little boy named carl. He also has als that is killing him. Eddie has health i insurance, gd Health Insurance. This is somebody who has Health Insurance and who every month has about 9,000 in medical bills that his Insurance Company will not cover. His wife, rachel, is on the phone for hours and hours begging the Insurance Company, please cover what the doctors say he needs. She talked about what it is like to go online with thousands of other people to beg friends, family, and strangers for money so he can cover his medical expenses. The basic profit model of an Insurance Company is taking in as much money as you can in premiums and pay as little as possible in health care coverage. That is not woworking fofor americans across this country. Amy that is senator elizizabeth warren. Before that, congressman delaney and Bernie Sanders. We begin today in michigan where the first of the two nights of the president ial primary debates are taking place. We are going to ann arbor, to elsayed, dr. Abdul and in 20 he founded the Political Action committee southpaw michigan to help elect other progressive candidates in michigan. Withr. , they started health care. Your response . That is the place to start. I spent the last 18 months of my life talking to people about the issues that they talk about with their families at the dinner table. There is no doubt that folks suffering from chronic diseases, they are frustrated with the private Health Insurance system that is just not working for them. Instead it is working for the ceos, who are making tens of millions of dollars a year on a system that is intended to squeeze profits out of people who are sick. That is not working. If we do not have Real Solutions to that problem, the question has to be, what are we doing here . Of some of the
