Chelsea Clinton's first speech of the 2016 presidential race was one big warning about Bernie Sanders. In Chelsea's stop in New Hampshire Tuesday, she echoed her mother Hillary Clinton's accusations that the Vermont senator wants to "dismantle" ObamaCare, Medicare, private insurance, and her father Bill Clinton's Children's Health Insurance Program in order to implement a single-payer health care system.
"I worry if we give Republicans Democratic permission to do that, we'll go back to an era — before we had the Affordable Care Act — that would strip millions and millions and millions of people off their health insurance," Chelsea said. Sanders spokeswoman Arianna Jones responded, calling Chelsea's attacks "wrong."
