Before he even took the stage at the SC Democratic Party Blue Jamboree – an event that brought out all three Democrats – Sanders issued a statement challenging Clinton on health care and paid family leave. In 1999, President Clinton – with his First Lady by his side – proposed a package of tax incentives to assist pay for long-term care, together with a $1,000 tax credit for a few family caregivers.

The lines are an uptick in directness from Sanders, who has in the past has been more subtle in calling out Clinton.
A fact sheet provided to reporters said, “As president, Clinton will go beyond President Obama’s Caregiver Respite budget request – investing $100 million in the initiative over 10 years”.

Sanders zeros in on Wall Street donations to Clinton in an aggressive new television commercial that started running in Iowa and New Hampshire on Saturday: “The truth is, you can’t change a corrupt system by taking its money”, he warns.
In SC, most polls have the former senator up more than 50 percentage points.
“Well, I think everybody in America should be able to afford health care”, he told reporters.
“The only fix for our broken system once and for all is the prescription Bernie Sanders has so eloquently presented – joining the rest of the world by expanding and updating Medicare to cover everyone”, Ross said.
One of Clinton’s most prominent supporters in OH, former state Sen. Sanders has been criticizing “the corrupt economy symbolized by Wall Street greed” for decades, she said.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton unveiled an formidable proposal to look after elderly & disabled Americans Sunday, together with a tax credit to assist pay for as much as $6,000 of caregiving espenses.
“There are differences in this race”, O’Malley said.
