“This is a struggle for the heart and soul of who we are as American people,” said Sanders. “The American people are increasingly clear: They want a health care system that guarantees health care to all Americans as a right.”
Vermont Senator and 2020 candidate Bernie Sanders launched his updated Medicare for All plan Wednesday morning, just days after President Donald Trump announced his renewed efforts to dismantle the Affordable Care Act.
The democratic socialist senator also said the plan would provide free, government-backed coverage to everyone in the U.S. Sanders insisted that the plan was not socialist and that it was similar to programs in Europe and Canada. He also said it would be paid for with ideas like raising taxes on the wealthy, imposing fees on large financial institutions and creating new progressive taxes on employers.
Sanders said that the upfront cost of universal health coverage would eventually be paid off by preventing costly medical expenses down the line. But Sanders told CBS News that insurance companies would still exist, but their roles would be limited.
