Walker: People Need To “Get Off Government Health Care And Get On The Health Care” Sen. Warnock Has

CNN reports:

Walker, when asked by the moderator if the federal government should step in to make sure everyone has access to health care, began a confusing non-response.

“Well, right now, people have coverage for health care. It’s according to what type of coverage do you want. Because if you have an able-bodied job, you’re going to have health care,” he said. “But everyone else – have health care is the type of health care you’re going to get. And I think that is the problem.”

Walker continued to say that Warnock wants people to “depend on the government,” while he wants “you to get off the government health care and get on the health care he’s got.” To note: Warnock, as a US Senator, is on a government health care plan.

Although millions of Americans do secure health insurance through an employer, “not all workers are offered employer-sponsored coverage or, if offered, can afford their share of the premiums,” according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonprofit that studies health care policy. Overall, the foundation says, “most people who are uninsured are nonelderly adults and in working families.”

The Huffington Post reports:



Herschel Walker, the GOP nominee for a U.S. Senate seat in Georgia, said people who are worried about the high cost of insulin should “eat right” in his only debate against Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) on Friday.

“I believe in reducing insulin but at the same time, you gotta eat right. I know many people that’s on insulin. Unless you’re eating right, insulin is doing you no good. So you have to get food prices down and you gotta get gas down so you can go get insulin,” the GOP candidate said.
