Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., burst into laughter during an    interview when asked about President Donald Trump's recent    claim that \"nobody knew that health care could be so    complicated.\"  <\/p>\n<p>    Trump made the comment in a     White House meeting with dozens of governors Monday. While    discussing his promise to completely overhaul the Affordable    Care Act, the president told the governors, \"It's an    unbelievably complex subject. Nobody knew that health care    could be so complicated.\"  <\/p>\n<p>    In an     interview with CNN Monday night, Sen. Sanders did not hide    the fact that he strongly disagrees.  <\/p>\n<p>    When asked about the comment, Sanders started laughing before    saying, \"Some of us who were sitting on the health education    committee who went to meeting, after meeting, after meeting,    who heard from dozens of people, who stayed up night after    night trying to figure out this thing  yeah, we got a clue.    When you provide healthcare in a nation of 320 million people,    yeah it is very complicated.\"  <\/p>\n<p>    Sanders went on to say he is \"stunned every day\" by Donald    Trump's presidency.  <\/p>\n<p>    Sen. Sanders told Anderson Cooper, \"I mean this is the    president of the United States. We have been debating    healthcare in this country for 30 years. And he says, 'Gee, who    knew how complicated it was?' He is maybe the only person in    this country who doesn't know how complicated it is to provide    healthcare for the American people.\"  <\/p>\n<p>    Watch the interview in the video below:  <\/p>\n<p>    Sen. Bernie Sanders has long been an advocate of universal    healthcare and campaigned on expanding the Affordable Care Act    during his run for president. Sanders told CNN he is willing to    work with Republicans to improve the healthcare law, but will    not help repeal it.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Visit link: <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sfgate.com\/politics\/article\/Bernie-Sanders-laughs-at-president-saying-that-10966117.php\" title=\"Bernie Sanders laughs at president saying that 'nobody knew healthcare could be so complicated' - SFGate\">Bernie Sanders laughs at president saying that 'nobody knew healthcare could be so complicated' - SFGate<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> By Alix Martichoux, San Francisco Chronicle Photo: Screenshot Via CNN Click through this slideshow to read more about President Trump's first 100 days in office.
