free if their incomes under $50,000. look what that does. it creates opportunity, and it creates options for people. then we ve got tens of millions of people who figured out that they can get health care, and it s about them and their doctor and their nurse-practitioner and their mental health professional and their physical therapist with no insurance company in between. we ve got a lot of allies, and i think that s when we vote and we get medicare. we are running out of time. let me leave you with a sign or veto quick question. say your president samy klobuchar is still a senator, amy klobuchar pushes through a modest bill that includes a public option for obamacare, no phase-in, no direction towards medicare for all at all, would you veto it? i ll sign anything that helps and i ll keep fighting for more ways to help because i think that s the right way to do it.
care worker in america. put $800 billion into our public schools. provide technical two-year college, four-year college for anyone who wants an education. put $50 billion into our historically black colleges and universities leveling the playing field. and that same 2 cents does that and lets us cancel student loan debt for 43 million americans. this is about numbers, it s about money, but it s about our values. it s about how we think a democracy should work. are we going to run this place for the billionaires, or are we going to run this country for everyone else? the door has opened just a crack in 2020. we ve got such an opportunity. not to go back to business as usual, but an opportunity to build an america that doesn t just work for those at the top. let s squeeze in health care issues that was in this poll. medicare for all not polling as well generally as the wealth

tax. your position now has been to pull away from an immediate enactment of medicare for all. first three years of your presidency at least would be a kind of build-in, phase-in. what would be the difference at this point? the real legislative reality difference between the warren first term president health care plan and the biden first term health care plan? so let me start with the first day health plan. and that is i ll do everything a president can do on her own to help people get relief because my overall philosophy is i want people are struggling with health care bills. millions of people who didn t have prescription filled, didn t have the lump checked out at the doctor because they can t pay the copay, can t pay the deductible, it s not covered even if they have insurance. so my view is let s give the maximum number of people the maximum amount of help in the shortest period of time.
