2020 prospect Michael Bennet says his alternative to eliminating private health insurance 'helps finish the work of Obamacare'
AND!!!!!! another one lol, they are all falling all over each other trying to be most left wing progressive bat $#@! crazy one of them all. KEEP IT UP NEVER SHUT UP keep going further and further left.
Democrats should tread carefully when talking about a "Medicare for all" framework that eliminates the role of private insurers, according to one potential 2020 candidate.
"Remember when President Obama said, 'If you like your insurance, you can keep your insurance,'" Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., said Sunday during an interview on NBC's "Meet to Press." "And then a few people in America actually lost their insurance because of the way that the plan worked. Now what Democrats are saying is, 'If you like your insurance, we're going to take it away from you,' from 180 million people that get their insurance from their employer and like it, where 20 million Americans who are on Medicare Advantage, and love it. That seems like a bad opening offer for me."
A better starting point, Bennet said, was his "Medicare X" proposal with Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., which creates a public option.
"It helps finish the work of Obamacare, and it says to America, 'If you want to be in a public plan, you can choose to be in a public plan. If you want to keep your insurance, you can keep your insurance,'" the two-term senator said.
A renewed conversation over private insurance began when presidential contender Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif,
called for the elimination of private health insurance during a CNN town hall last month.
"The idea is that everyone gets access to medical care and you don't have to go through the process of going through an insurance company, having them give you approval, going through all the paperwork, all of the delay that may require," Harris said. "Who of all us have not had that situation where you have to wait for approval and the doctor says, 'I don't know if your insurance company is going to cover this.'"
“Let’s eliminate all of that,” she added. “Let’s move on.”
