"You're wrong" about Medicare-for-all, Sen. Bernie Sanders told former Rep. John Delaney as this week's Democratic debates kicked off — an exchange that set the tone for the first night.

Pulse Check host Dan Diamond joined Scott Bland, host of POLITICO's Nerdcast, to discuss the exchange (and Sen. Elizabeth Warren's comments too) for a bonus crossover episode.

MENTIONED ON THE SHOW

Delaney's "BetterCare" plan, which goes further than some other Democrats' proposals toward ensuring universal coverage.

Warren's rebuke that Democrats need to stop using Republican talking points on health care.
