Clinton and Sanders Rip The Kochs For Trying To Steal Healthcare From Vets At MSNBC Debate

Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders both ripped into the Koch brothers for forming a front group that is trying to privatize or abolish the VA and take health care away from veterans.

When asked by Rachel Maddow about VA privatization Clinton said, “This is another part of the Koch brothers agenda. They’ve actually formed an organization to try to convince Americans that we no longer need guaranteed health care, specialized care for our veterans. I will fight that as hard as I can.”

Sanders added, “Republicans talk a good game about veterans, but when it came time to put money on the line for veterans, they were not there…Sec. Clinton is absolutely right. There are people, the Koch brothers among others, who have a group called Concerned Veterans of America. Koch brothers, by the way, want to destroy Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, every governmental program passed since the 1930s.”

It has not been a good night for the Koch boys. The Koch plan to fool the American people into believing that the VA must be privatized was blown to smithereens at the Democratic debate. The Koch brothers need secrecy for their front groups to gain traction and be effective.

Clinton and Sanders teamed up to blow the Koch cover and demonstrate that Democrats will stand united against any and every effort take healthcare away from veterans.
