This footage is from the “Democratic National Candidates Forum” organized by the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition that took place on June 22, 2003 at
the Sheraton Chicago Hotel and Towers in Chicago, IL.

This is by far my favorite quote from the Forum. The question is (paraphrased) “How can we afford
healthcare?”

In a nutshell, the repeal of the Shrub’s latest tax cut for the rich would
cover the cost two times over. (See the longer edits below if you want to hear more — this clip
is the sound byte version.

“If you say to the American People ‘You have a choice. You can have the President’s tax cut, or you can have health insurance that can’t be taken away. You can have the President’s tax cut, or you can fully fund Special Education. You can have the President’s tax cut, or you can start to balance the budget and get jobs back again in this country. What people are gonna say is ‘I’ll take the jobs, the education, and the health care, cause I didn’t get the President’s tax cut.'” – Howard Dean.
