- U.S. presidential contender Michael Bloomberg joked on Sunday he was the only Jewish candidate who does not want to turn America into a “kibbutz,” a reference to collectivist farming and an apparent dig at fellow Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders.
Sanders is a front-runner in the race and proposes left-wing policies like abolishing private health insurance in favor of a government-run Medicare for All program, based on the government program for older Americans. His remarks on Sunday, while playful in tone, appeared to take aim at Sanders, although he did not mention the senator from Vermont by name.
Bloomberg’s views include a proposal to create a new government-run health insurance plan that would exist alongside private plans.
