Senator Bernie Sanders has literally laughed out loud at Trump's statement describing heath care as "complicated", adding that provide health care was in fact an extremely complicated matter.

In an interview with CNN, Sanders expressed his mirth over the remark and spoke about the complexity of the issue by rolling out his experience working on the legislative side.

"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 health care in a nation of 320 million people, yeah, it is very, very complicated," Sanders said.

 

Trump has almost consistently branded Obamacare as a failure, stating that it must be repealed and replaced.

Earlier House Speaker Paul Ryan said, "We have to step in and prevent Obamacare from getting worse, from collapsing, and we will replace it with a law that is better.
