WATCH: Biden and Sanders spar over health care | Sixth Democratic debate

Former Vice President Joe Biden made the case at the Democratic debate for a public health care option, in contrast to Sen. Bernie Sanders’ support for a single-payer Medicare for All solution, saying that Sanders “isn’t being realistic.” Biden said his plan would build on Obamacare, “and most importantly, it lets you choose what you want.” Sanders said Biden’s plan would “retain the status quo.” Biden and Sanders are two of the seven Democrats vying for their party's 2020 presidential nomination who met on the stage for the sixth Democratic debate on Dec. 19, hosted by the PBS NewsHour and POLITICO.
