INTRO: Democrats taking control of both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives during the midterm elections on Tuesday. Rising healthcare costs and the expensive cost of living were key issues for voters. Senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT) has been pushing for ‘Healthcare for All’ for years. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries does not currently sponsor Medicare for all legislation. Instead he has pushed to extend expiring Affordable Care Act tax credits to prevent health insurance premiums from skyrocketing for millions of Americans. Senator Sanders joins NBC’s “Meet the Press” to react.
