Biden and Sanders are locking horns in a high-profile skirmish over Obamacare and Medicare for All.
a $750 billion plan to repair holes in Obamacare, expand subsidies for insurance, and add a new public option customers could purchase instead of private plans.
Sanders, the author of the leading single-payer health care bill in the Senate, is set to deliver what the campaign is calling a"major address" on Medicare For All on Wednesday. All of this makes him a natural foil for Sanders, who holds a unique position in the field as the nation's most prominent advocate for single-payer health care.
While much of the field has discussed a public option in general terms, Biden's plan goes into more detail than most, making it a strong jumping-off point for debate. Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., who has his own bill to create a"Medicare X" option, said he was"glad that digging in the same place we are."
For those who find deductibles are too high on Obamacare plans, it provides subsidies for a more generous tier of plans.For those caught in the"Medicaid gap" in states that didn't expand the program, it provides access to the new public option with zero premiums. "We believe that health care is a human right and we are going to fight for a system that is based on human needs, not corporate profits," Sanders said on Monday in Philadelphia promoting a plan to use federal funding to purchase failing hospitals.
