Reason: the student paraphrases Sanders' idea in new words and explicitly attributes it ("According to Sanders"), so it is not presented as the student's original claim. (One caveat: "federally supported" is an imprecise description of Denmark's system, and in formal work you should give a full citation to the HuffPost piece or Sanders' original text per your citation style.)
