Bernie Sanders admits he would 'absolutely' give government-run health care to illegal aliens

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., says he would "Absolutely" give taxpayer-funded health care benefits to illegal immigrants, if given the option.

"Literally starting yesterday, the insurance companies and the drug companies are starting to spend tens and tens of millions of dollars to fight against Medicare for All," Sanders said.

"And we will organize the American people around the concept that all people in this country have the right to health care and at the end of the day we are going to win that struggle."

When asked by an event moderator whether or not he would include the "11 million undocumented immigrants" in his statements, Sanders responded: "Absolutely. When I talk about health care being a human right, last time I heard that undocumented people are human beings as well."

During his speech, Sanders also acknowledged that government-run health care indeed comes with flaws.

"I will not deny that every country on earth that has a national health care program all have problems," Sanders said.

The senator chalked those problems up to "The nature of health care and a changing technology."
