Facts First: Bernie Sanders is correct on Medicare's popularity: It is popular across political lines, and it is more popular than private insurance. But private insurance is also quite popular with those using it — even though insurance companies aren't.
A key plank of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign platform is his proposal to have the US adopt a"Medicare for All" government health insurance system.
Under the Sanders proposal, private health insurance companies would be eliminated. Every resident would be covered by a single government insurance program that would pay the entire cost of almost every health care service and product, from routine checkups to major surgery to prescription drugs to dentistry to treatment for mental illness.ABC host George Stephanopoulos challenged Sanders over his proposal on Sunday.
