What I am saying is, all health care has a problem with costs. Medicare is growing slower than the private insurance plans. Why? Because of their efficiency. They dont have to give money to shareholders. Why should be defending shareholders? – Anthony Weiner

Do you know what the overhead is of the Medicare system? One-point-zero-five percent. Do you know what – private insurance is 30 percent in overhead and profits? Given a choice how Im going to improve health care, Im going to take it away from private insurance profits and overhead. Wouldnt you? – Anthony Weiner

Is Medicare socialism? You want to get rid of Medicare. And a lot of the people against health care do. I want to preserve it and grow it. – Anthony Weiner
