Democrats sharpen healthcare attacks as primaries heat up

The ideal began to get real on Tuesday, as seven of the top contenders for the Democratic presidential nomination sparred over the price tag on health care reform and even revealed similarities on issues like marijuana legalization.

Bernie Sanders of Vermont, the current front-runner, during the party’s 10th debate.
