Presidential candidate Andrew Yang defended his recently released health care plan, saying that he would work toward a"vision" of"universal health care for all Americans," despite his plan not directly supporting"Medicare for All" or a public option.
.@jonkarl:"Your ad says 'Medicare for all.' Your plan is not 'Medicare for all' ... there's not even a public option." On Sunday, ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl questioned Yang on two political ads his campaign ran this fall that touted moving to a Medicare for All system. Yang’s plan stops short of offering the public option plan that even moderate candidates like former Vice President Joe Biden and South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg have committed to implementing.
"Everyone in Alaska is getting between $1,000 and $2,000 a year, no questions asked, and that's the richest Alaskan and the poorest," Yang said."And what this does is it universalizes it and makes it popular. There's no stigma attached to it. There's no you get it, I don't.
