Washington D.C. [U.S.A.] Sept 15, (ANI): United States President Donald Trump and Senator Bernie Sanders locked horns on Twitter over health care plan.
Donald termed Sanders' health care plan as a curse on Americans and vowed to veto Sanders' bill to create a government-run healthcare system if it passed the House and Senate.
