On Thursday, while businessman Andrew Yang spoke about health care during the Democratic presidential debate, he made a brief joke about his Asian heritage (emphasis added):
We know we’re on the same team. We all have a better vision for health care than our current president, and I believe we’re talking about this the wrong way. As someone who has run a business, I know that our current health care system makes it harder to hire people, makes it harder to give them benefits and treat them as full-time employees – you instead pretend they’re contractors. It’s harder to change jobs; it’s certainly harder to start a business. The pitch we have to make [to] the American people is, we will get the health care weight off of your backs and then unleash the hopes and dreams of the American people.
