John Delaney on drug prices, why Clinton lost, and biking across Iowa
Former Rep. John Delaney spoke to POLITICO Thursday as part of a series of interviews with Democrats seeking to challenge President Donald Trump in 2020."Well, look at the problem I had the first debate, it was pretty obvious I wasn't going to get any questions. So, I had two options: either to not get any questions or try to wedge myself in.
I mean, I always go back to my dad, who was an electrician. And I grew up in a union family. And he would always say at the dinner table, there were no fancy political discussions. No socialism versus capitalism, no trickle down versus redistribution. It was very simple: If you care about workers, you vote for the Democrats. And so, with all these proposals, I say, okay, what's good for American workers because if it was not good for American workers, you're not going to get it done.
But what people can do is they can either opt out of that plan and get a tax credit. So, if you all got that plan, you can say, 'Well, I don't want that plan. I'd rather have the health care that POLITICO gives me.' You get a tax credit, which you turn in to the HR office here, they would use that tax credit together with other money they probably have to pay to give you your private insurance.
