Trailing significantly in the New Hampshire Democratic Primary polls to Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, former Vice President Joe Biden slammed the Vermont socialist’s health care plan in a speech at Girls Inc. in Nashua on Tuesday afternoon.
Biden, who arrived 50 minutes late to his own event, mentioned only two other candidates who are running for president: Sanders and Donald Trump.
With Sanders leading Biden 29 points to 14 points in New Hampshire in the latest Emerson College poll, Biden attempted to present himself as the more pragmatic candidate of the two to take on Trump.
Biden spoke glowingly of his health care plan which – -although not universal — would cover more than 97 percent of Americans, according to his campaign web site.
Biden says his plan would require an extra $750 billion in government health care spending over the next 10 years.
He said while his plan is not cheap, he thinks it is far more workable than what Sanders and others are offering.
“It costs a lot of money, but we can do it without raising taxes on the middle class,” he said in his speech Tuesday, February 4. “It’s not $30 trillion like Medicare-for-All. Thirty to 40 trillion. I can get my plan passed through the United States Congress. I can get it passed right away. Senator Sanders, God love him, and the others have attacked my health care plan. They say, ‘it’s too small.’ Well, first of all, they’re dead wrong about the amount of coverage. [Obamacare] was a historic achievement this party should be proud to defend. But look, Bernie has talked about the single-payer health care system for 30 years now. He hasn’t moved it an inch.”

“...in a speech at Girls Inc.”
Why does this not surprise me?
This is where slow Joe’s desperation sets in.
Guess the establishment dems are going to go all in on Mayor Cheat.
So Creepy Joe is also creepin' Joe?
Who'd have thunk?
Joe, if I were you I’d just stick with fondling children and other men’s wives. That seemed to be working for you in THAT party.
Most of Biden’s 15% will be going over to Trump.
After New Hampshire it’s Bye-den.
Joe, you don’t have to do this.
Old pedo Joe should invite Corn Pop on his tours. Ya know keep the serfs in line, and insure fealty to his royal status.
Pedo Joe needs to go home to Scranton and sit this one out. The socialists have taken over the party.
Yeah i saw that too. What idiot of a parent would let this child molesting creep within ten feet of his or her child?
