The Warren stump speech is simple, concise, and unchanging. But there is one issue that she doesn’t dwell on: Medicare for All.
This year things started to get confusing again. In March, in comments that haven’t received much attention, she, “There are a lot of different proposals on the table.” She mentioned several ideas: reducing the age for Medicare coverage, adding people from birth to age 30 to Medicare, letting employers buy into Medicare, and allowing employees to buy in.
At Dos Amigos that’s what Kurt Goodman, who was visiting from Brooklyn, asked Warren about. He told her he’d recently read that her Medicare for All plan cost four times as much as all her other proposals combined. “I’ll tell you what, hold on and wait for two or three more days,” Warren said. “Sometime soon, ok, and let’s talk about that.”
Sena added, “We cannot be the party that's open and vulnerable to the idea that private health care will be taken away from people. That piece in and of itself we have to clarify as a party as this primary process rolls out.” He said he hopes the presidential candidates understand that 23 of the seats Democrats took over in 2018 were Trump districts in 2016.
Nancy-Ann DeParle was the deputy chief of staff in the Obama White House when the title actually meant something. She is one of the officials most responsible for moving the ACA through Congress in 2009 and 2010, when Democrats had large majorities. DeParle is in the private sector now and she hadn’t been following the health care debate in granular detail.
“I would not want our new Democratic president to waste their precious honeymoon period on Medicare for All,” she told me, “because I don't think it's good policy and I don't think it will happen. So it would be wasting everyone's time and energy.”
