Seven about two point eight trillion dollars -- for health care.

One out of every three dollars goes for corporate profits stock options executive salaries advertising marketing the cost -- paperwork.

Has nothing to do with care for people what would you do.

What you do would you have a not for profit health care system.

Where where people would have.

That's what I stand -- called Medicare for all.

And and you'd actually have lower costs.

Because right now you could reduce the cost of health care in America by 800 billion dollars a year from the two point 7000000000002.

Point eight trillion.

If you had a not for profit system who knew it would be so easy.

Well you know what look at other every other industrialized nation you agree with the president you wanna raise the -- wage actually more nine dollars as little ten dollars or more.

Well if the minimum wage kept pace with inflation would be ten dollars and twenty cents a are mostly -- spend money -- try to stop climate change.

Where adamant I mean.

-- climate change affection on this let's spend money -- try to reduce -- we need to protect the global climate this is the place where we live have.

So why aren't we focusing right now.

I'm finding new ways to use -- technology that's available on -- of the clean up the global climate I don't know why this is so difficult to understand.

And it's about -- world let's share from news service about this who has questions for Dennis Kucinich.

I'm my name is just -- from Virginia Tech he said he would not.

Raise taxes but most programs are paid -- inflation and other debt -- debt increases how's that different than a direct tax.

At a spending.

First -- let's look at how we spend money.

-- government waste money you -- it does.

And as as a Democrat I targeted.

Programs -- government wasted trillions of dollars.

The tenth anniversary of this Iraq War we will -- we.

Will eventually have a bill that war between five and six trillion dollar bill is opposed to wait a minute afford that but -- -- wait a minute no supplement -- not.

That -- was not necessary.

That we always breaks -- -- I -- So let's target.

-- -- -- -- I like you're dodging his question what I'm not assume that they wrecked our as the spending get paid for when you -- cover you stop whining and change at all these other kind of go to my -- and its theology OK let's look at the insurance companies what did what did -- -- with the Europeans and the plot.

Fifty billion dollars something something like that is why -- for that why don't you against that.

In the costs wait a minute that is a cost of climate change you can't say put -- -- -- the deal with wind argue hitting.

Let's go to the next question.

Good evening my name is Kyle you sham I attend SUNY new halts in New York I have -- -- medical condition and I pay my own medical bills.

I think it's unfair task complete strangers and especially college age students to contribute to things I -- pay for my medical bills.

Why do you think it's acceptable to impose undue burdens on.

Young people to -- would pay for you without government help.

I would I currently work three jobs while -- We have to understand that the rising cost of health care is a societal problem Lincoln said debt.

That government should be involved in doing for people collectively what they cannot do for themselves individually and I think what you're talking about the financing of of the cost of health care that's.

That isn't totally in line with their philosophy.

So thank you Dennis Kucinich and that answers your question and he got take some money by force from other people -- up by -- -- a society we have doggy dog just chew each other up and you know if you got the money fine if you don't it's grown now I don't know I wouldn't.

-- that isn't right.
