Biden and Sanders Spar Over Health Care

Washington Post: “The fight over health care has burst to the forefront of the Democratic presidential race, with defenders of the Affordable Care Act, such as Joe Biden, and advocates of a broader Medicare-for-all system, notably Bernie Sanders, launching more aggressive attacks on each other.”

“The dispute, which has reverberated across the sprawling field, is exemplified by the increasingly hostile dynamic between Biden and Sanders. The former vice president released a proposal Monday to expand the ACA and warned that it would be dangerous to scrap it and enact Medicare-for-all. Sanders and his top aides rebutted those comments, and the senator from Vermont plans to deliver a speech Wednesday confronting critics of his proposal.”
