80. No, Biden never claimed, as Jess McIntosh suggested, that seniors would be left with nothing.

This is a lie. Biden has never insinuated Bernie's plan would leave seniors with nothing.

Biden did mention a hiatus period, but later clarified the remarks:

What Biden was saying, Bates said, was that Sanders' plan for a sweeping overhaul of the health care system would take much longer than Biden's own plan to be approved by Congress -- so, under Sanders, there would be a hiatus between the status quo and the possible future arrival of an improved system.
