Here are where the big names stand on health issues.
Kaiser Health NewsIf you tuned in for the first five nights of the Democratic presidential debates, you might think “Medicare for All” and providing universal care are the only health care ideas Democrats have.
“So it’s just my belief that whoever wins is going to have to switch back to pocketbook issues,” Blendon said of the eventual Democratic nominee. Kluender said Sanders’ plan targets debt that is rarely repaid anyway, noting that only about 8% of what is sent to collection agencies is ever repaid. Although some limited research suggests debt forgiveness may have mental health benefits, Kluender said, the effect Sanders’ move would have “is hard to know.”Empower the federal government to negotiate, then pay off past-due medical bills that have been reported to the credit agencies.
He also drew attention to his newer ideas to change the system, including a push toward transitioning to “smart guns.” Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana, introduced a wide-ranging, $300 billion proposal in August to improve treatment for mental health and substance abuse. Reduce related incarceration, in part, by decriminalizing all drug possession and expunging past convictions.
And unlike Buttigieg and his $300 billion mental health and addiction plan, Warren outlined how she would pay for it – with a tax on the richest 75,000 families.
