Sen. Michael Bennet suggested Monday that the “Medicare for All” proposals touted by many of his Democratic primary opponents may not be as popular as they seem, telling CNN that candidates should "be honest" with voters about the realities of such health care policies.
"I think Bernie Sanders believes it's exactly the right thing to do for the country," Bennet said. "He's believed it since 1973."The race for 2020 starts now. Stay in the know.

The moderate Colorado lawmaker became the 21st Democratic contender for the White House last week, when he announced his officialless than a month after undergoing surgery for prostate cancer. In the same month, Bennet's daughter had an appendectomy — a one-two punch that Bennet said is why he supports “universal coverage.“
Because we don't need Medicare For All. It's a controversial bill that Bernie unveiled for Trump that will make more than a million Americans lose their healthcare. Michael Bennet is right. We should only expand to universal healthcare with MedicareX and ACA. Bennet2020
I agree. We should fix ACA.
[cough]
Some other nobody senator with free government healthcare only joining the race to shill for insurance companies and political centrism.
Says a out of touch, bought by Healthcare to repeat those Lies.
Are you as honest about raising the defense budget every year? How come no one, Democrat or Republican asks 'how do we pay for it' each time we raise it?
True. UniversalHealthcareNow
May be he should give up his state funded heathcare too then.
IT is NOT Medicare they want as we , pay premium , paid into the system all our working years, AND, pay 20% of what is not covered by Medicare. Dem. leaders want Medicaid, big difference- this coverage lot better
MEANS VAT TAX and 2 month wait to see a Specialist, and a country full of Hypochondriacs.......
GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTHCARE 307,000 Veterans died waiting in line ZERO Government workers fired.
Running for his corporate master base!
Obvious Sen. Michael Bennet wants to keep healthcare for the ‘classes’ and not for poor people!
The system requires that sort of change in order to improve. What we are doing now is foolish. It is the most expensive system in the world and delivers substandard care.
What are you saying? America wants coverage and pre existing conditions. Some people stay in jobs they hate just for healthcare. BOLD IDEAS for a new Bold future
I call bullshit
