Sen. Al Franken: How many bankruptcies because of medical crises were there last year in Switzerland?

Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Diana Furchtgott-Roth: I don’t have that number in front of me but I can find out and get back to you.

Sen. Al Franken: It’s zero.

[silence]

Sen. Al Franken: Do you know how many medical bankruptcies there were last year in France?

Diana Furchtgott-Roth: I don’t have that number but I can get back to you if you’d like.

Sen. Al Franken: Yeah, the number is zero.

[silence]

Sen. Al Franken: Do you know how many were in Germany?

Diana Furchtgott-Roth: From the trend of your questions, I’m assuming the answer is zero, but I don’t know the precise amount.

Sen. Al Franken: Oh, you’re very good, very fast.
