Sen. Elizabeth Warren rolled out a new piece of her 'Medicare for All' plan today
Sen. Elizabeth Warren rolled out a new piece of her "Medicare for All" plan on Friday, detailing how she would transition the nation to a fully government run, single-payer health system.
Instead of trying to pass a single Medicare for All bill through Congress with a set timeline for replacing private insurance, as Sen. Bernie Sanders has proposed, the presidential hopeful envisions fast-tracking a series of bills during her first 100 days in office that would expand Obamacare coverage, create a public health insurance option with no premiums to cover low-income families and children under 18, and to allow Americans over 50 to enroll in a beefed-up Medicare program.
Warren’s new plan also answers rivals who contend that already hard-pressed families can’t wait for such a sweeping overhaul to experience relief from health costs. The new set of policies seeks to counter divisions over building on Obamacare's coverage expansion versus single-payer by declaring that the country could have it all.
