is I beat Bernie Sanders.
Not by much.
I beat him a whole hell of a lot.
I'm here standing and facing you.
Pocahontas would have left two days earlier.
You would have lost every primary on Super Tuesday.
You got very lucky.
Look, here's the deal.
I got very lucky.
I'm going to get very lucky tonight as well.
And tonight I'm going to make sure, because here's the deal.
Here's the deal.
The fact is that everything he's saying so far is simply a lie.
I'm not here to call out his lies.
Everybody knows he's a liar.
But you agree that you're the liar.
I want to make sure.
You are the last in your class.
I want to make sure.
Mr. President, can you let him finish, sir?
He doesn't know how to do that.
Good health care.
Over the last four years, you have promised to repeal and replace Obamacare, but you have never in these four years come up with a plan, a comprehensive plan to replace Obamacare.
Of course I have.
Well, I'll give you an opportunity.
And when I finish, I'm going to give you an opportunity.
I got rid of the individual mandate, which was a big joke of Obama.
That is absolutely a big thing.
That was the worst part of Obamacare.
Chris, that was the worst part of Obamacare.
Well, I'll ask Joe.
The individual mandate was the most unpopular aspect of Obamacare.
I got rid of it.
And we will protect people with pre-existing conditions.
And I would like you to let me ask my question, and then you can answer your question.
You, in the course of these four years, have never come up with a comprehensive plan to replace Obamacare.
And just this last Thursday, you signed a largely symbolic executive order to protect people with pre-existing conditions five days before this debate.
So my question, sir, is what is the Trump health care plan?
Well, first of all, I guess I'm debating you, not him.
But that's OK.
I'm not surprised.
Let me just tell you something.
There's nothing symbolic.
I'm cutting drug prices.
I'm going with favored nations, which no president has the courage to do because you're going against big pharma.
Drug prices will be coming down 80% or 90%.
You could have done it during your 47-year period in government, but you didn't do it.
Nobody's done it.
So we're cutting health care.
All of the things that we've done.
Insulin.
I'll give you an example.
Insulin.
It was destroying families, destroying people, because I'm getting it for so cheap, it's like water, you want to know the truth.
So cheap.
Take a look at all of the drugs that what we're doing.
Prescription drug prices.
We're going to allow our governors now to go to other countries to buy drugs because they pay just a tiny fraction.
As I say, this is open discussion.
No, but this is big stuff.
You'll be happy.
I'm about to pick up on one of your points to ask the vice president, which is he points out that you would like to add a public option to Obamacare and the argument that he makes, and other Republicans make, is that that is going to end private insurance.
It is not.
If I can ask you the question, it will end private insurance and create a government takeover of health care.
It does not.
It's only for those people who are so poor they qualify for Medicaid.
They can get that free in most states, except governors who want to deny people who are poor Medicaid.
Anyone who qualifies for Medicare would, excuse me,
Medicaid would automatically be enrolled in the public option.
The vast majority of the American people would still not be in that option.
Number one.
Joe, you agree with Bernie Sanders.
He's far left on the manifesto, we call it.
That gives you socialized medicine.
Look, hey, I'm not going to listen to him.
The fact of the matter is I beat Bernie Sanders.
Not by much.
I beat him a whole hell of a lot.
I'm here standing facing you.
If Boca Juniors would have left two days earlier, you would have lost every primary on Super Tuesday.
You got very lucky.
Look, here's the deal.
I got very lucky.
I'm going to get very lucky tonight as well.
And tonight I'm going to make sure, because here's the deal.
Here's the deal.
The fact is that everything he's saying so far is simply a lie.
I'm not here to call out his lies.
Everybody knows he's a liar.
But you agree that Joe, you're the liar.
I want to make sure.
You graduated last in your class, not first in your class.
I want to make sure.
Mr. President, can you let him finish, sir?
No, he doesn't know how to do that.
He has, you know, you pick the wrong guy the wrong night at the wrong time.
Listen, you agreed with Bernie Sanders.
The whole idea, there is no manifesto, number one.
Number two.
You just lost the left.
Number two.
You just lost the left.
You agreed with Bernie Sanders on a plan that's absolutely agreed to.
Folks, do you have any idea what this clown's doing?
Do you have any idea?
Socialized medicine.
Mr. President.
Well, I'll tell you what.
He is not for any help for people needing health care.
Because he in fact already has cost 10 million people their health care that they had from their employers because of his recession.
Number one.
Number two.
There are 20 million people getting health care through Obamacare now that he wants to take it away.
He won't ever look you in the eye and say that's what he wants to do.
Take it away.
I want to give you better health care at a much lower price because Obamacare is no good.
He doesn't know how to do that.
He has never offered a plan.
He has never done a single thing.
Obamacare, as you might know, but probably don't.
Gentlemen, you realize if you're both speaking at the same time.
And it's too expensive.
Let the president.
Go ahead, sir.
Obamacare is no good.
We made it better.
And I had a choice to make very early on.
We took away the individual mandate.
We guarantee pre-existing conditions, but took away the individual mandate.
Listen, this is the way it is.
