Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
CNN’s Dana Bash questioned Florida Democratic nominee for governor Andrew Gillum on how he’ll pay for a $33 trillion government-run health care system.

“A study earlier this summer from George Mason University estimates that Medicare for all, that plan, would cost the government $33 trillion — with a T — dollars over the next decade, which obviously would require a significant tax increase,” Bash said. “Are you ready to tell the people of Florida that they need to pay a lot more in taxes to fund your health care plan?”
Gillum struggled mightily in responding to Bash’s question as he tried to deflect from answering the question, saying that the $33 trillion health care program could save the government money.
Not satisfied with Gillum’s response, Bash continued to push him over how he plans to pay for the astronomically-expensive program.
Gillum responded by claiming that Florida couldn’t do it alone; taxes would not be raised, and that 700,000 people would be helped, before he claimed that it was a personal issue for him as he claimed that he had a rough childhood.
Gillum predictably pivoted, blaming the Republican nominee Ron DeSantis and President Donald Trump for health care costs before finally conceding he would raise taxes on Florida businesses.
