Watch: Bernie Sanders once said universal Medicaid would 'bankrupt the nation

The big health care debate continues: Sen. Bernie Sanders made his case for universal health care this week with the Medicare for All Act.

The Medicare for All bill would theoretically expand the Medicare program to cover health care for everyone in the country within four years.

But thirty years ago, Sanders seemed to have an entirely different view. He can be seen on video explaining that if you expanded Medicaid to everyone, “we would be spending such an astronomical sum of money that we would bankrupt the nation.”

Medicare and Medicaid operate differently, but they are both government health care programs.

Pat Gray and Stu Burguiere debunked liberal talking points and listened to Sanders’ flip-flop from 1987 to today on Friday’s “The Glenn Beck Radio Program.”
