Former vice president and Democratic front-runner Joe Biden said in a televised interview Monday that, if elected President, he would veto a “Medicare for All” proposal if it undermined the “security and certainty” of health care provision.

Biden, whose press team did not immediately respond to a request for clarification on his comments, made the remarks when asked by MSNBC’s Lawrence O'Donnell if he would veto the universal health care bill advanced by a number of Democrat presidential hopefuls, including Biden’s chief rival Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).
