During a speech on 'Medicare for All,' Bernie Sanders will urge 2020 Democratic candidates to reject money from health care industries.
Bernie Sanders on Wednesday will urge all of his 2020 Democratic rivals to reject money from insurance and pharmaceutical companies.
During a speech advocating for "Medicare for All," the Vermont independent will urge all Democratic presidential candidates to reject money from the insurance and pharmaceutical industries. He will push the field of about two dozen not to "knowingly" accept donations greater than $200 from political action committees, lobbyists or "top executives" for the industries, the Sanders campaign said.
Sanders has long pushed for a government run, single-payer health care system to offer comprehensive coverage to all Americans. He has contended the system will not only cover more Americans and cut their health care costs, but also root out corruption and inefficiencies in the private health care industry.
By calling on his rivals to reject drug and insurance company money, Sanders aims to distance himself again on health care — which voters consistently rank among their top concerns. It also fits into a broader strategy within the Democratic field: many candidates have railed against large individual contributions or corporate donations, arguing they corrupt the political process.
