As the health care debate moved to the Senate following House approval of legislation on Saturday, former President Bill Clinton met with senators Tuesday.  Sen. Bernie Sanders told MSNBC that President Clinton “made a very, very important point to the caucus.  What he said is the United States today spends far more per capita on health care than any other nation. And what that means is that not only 46 million people have no health insurance, but from an economic perspective, we are disadvantaged in the global economy in competing against other countries where the cost of health care may be 50 percent lower.  His point was, we have got to bring cost containment to the health care system so that we are more competitive, economically, around the world.”
