Bernie Sanders is poised Wednesday to release a new version of his “Medicare-for-all” plan, putting a spotlight on the debate among 2020 Democratic presidential contenders over the future of America’s health-care system.
Republicans and some prominent Democrats have sought to cast “Medicare-for-all” plans as astronomically costly — some studies have suggested they could increase government spending on health care by more than $25 trillion over a decade. The critics also portray the plans as incredibly complicated to implement, given the vast array of doctors, hospitals and insurers that would be affected.
Wednesday’s event will also underscore how much headway Sanders has made among Democrats in pushing what was viewed as a fringe idea during his last presidential bid. On Capitol Hill, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is among those who have voiced skepticism about moving to a single-payer system. For now, Democratic leaders have been more focused preserving the Affordable Care Act amid the Trump administration’s attempts to dismantle it.
it's simple, make it a percentage cut out of every working persons monthly salary just like every other developed nation with a national health system free at point of use to everyone.
Bernie2020 Medicare4All because healthcare is a human right and not a privilege. Bullshit we live in the richest nation EVER and people have GoFundMes all over the place to raise money for medical bills and life saving drugs.
Thank you for changing your original message. There is nothing expensive of saving people's lives and making health care affordable for all.
Hey Bernie release your taxes, join the Democratic Party and THEN we can talk!
How he pays for it must be included to be a serious consideration. And who qualifies
Will Bernie Sanders personally pay for it?
Release your tax returns, SenSanders and unveil the reasons you voted IN FAVOR of Russia the past two years!!! NeverBernie
A vote for Bernie is a vote for Trump, neither intend to provide healthcare.
Maybe he can unveil his taxes as well....
