WASHINGTON - U.S. presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, pushing an ambitious “Medicare for All” health plan that has split Democratic White House contenders, will urge his rivals on Wednesday to reject campaign donations from the health insurance and pharmaceutical industries.
Fundamental healthcare reforms will be impossible if politicians are indebted to the industry, according to an excerpt of a speech Sanders will deliver later on Wednesday.“If we are going to break the stranglehold of corporate interests over the healthcare needs of the American people, we have got to confront a Washington culture that has let this go on for far too long,” Sanders will say.
The proposal has come under fire from some of his Democratic rivals led by former Vice President Joe Biden, who has called it an unrealistic and costly threat to former President Barack Obama’s signature healthcare law known as Obamacare. Four other White House candidates in the U.S. Senate - Kamala Harris of California, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Cory Booker of New Jersey and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts - have signed on to the Sanders Senate bill, although they have been less adamant about eliminating private insurance.
