Bernie Sanders calls Biden's Medicare for All comments 'disingenuous
with Jake Tapper Sunday morning, Senator Bernie Sanders responded to claims that Medicare for All would necessarily raise the cost of living for middle-class Americans.
Medicare for All first gained attention as part of Sanders' 2016 campaign platform. Many Democratic hopefuls running for the 2020 nomination have taken on the issue in the current campaign.
Under Canada's system, individuals do not pay for standard medical expenses like doctor visits and hospital stays. Instead, care is publicly funded by local governments, which receive funding from the federal government. Sanders' argument is based on the idea that Medicare for All will save individuals money by doing away with the"incredible profiteering" of private insurance companies, so that even if people's taxes increase, their total medical expenses — which can easily reach tens of thousands of dollars annually for some Americans — will be reduced.
