Former vice president Joe Biden delivered remarks April 9 during the National Minority Quality Forum in Washington. By Jeff Stein Jeff Stein Economic policy reporter Email Bio Follow April 29 at 6:05 PM Joe Biden on Monday endorsed a public option that would allow all Americans to buy into a Medicare-like health insurance plan, as allies of both the former vice president and 2020 presidential rival Sen. Bernie Sanders begin to debate the Democratic Party’s health-care agenda.
Biden’s plan would create a new government option for patients in the marketplace exchanges that would aim to lower prices for individual Americans by competing directly with private plans, according to a policy adviser for Biden, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to share details of the proposal. Employers would also be able to buy into the public plan. Additional details about the plan will be released later in the campaign.
A campaign aide to Sanders also criticized Biden in a statement for attending a private fundraiser with health insurance executive Daniel Hilferty at the Philadelphia home of a Comcast executive, according to a copy of the invitations first obtained by Politico.“Anyone defending the current dysfunctional system needs to explain why the average family should have to pay $28,000 a year for health care, while the CEO of Independence Health Group Daniel Hilferty made $4.

Conservatives, including two of Trump’s sons, respond.] Although key details remain unclear, Biden’s plan to create a Medicare public option could give consumers much less expensive insurance without the limited networks that exist in private insurance plans, said Larry Levitt, a health policy expert at the Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonpartisan group.
