6 May 2017 - U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders said on Saturday that President Donald Trump was right to call Australia's universal health care system better than the U.S. system.

Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist who ran for the Democratic presidential nomination last year, also said the Senate should use the Australian system as a model while crafting an alternative to Republican healthcare legislation that Trump endorses.

"President Trump is right. The Australian health care system provides health care to all of its people at a fraction of the cost than we do," Sanders commented on Twitter.
