Bernie Sanders reignited Democrats’ feud over health care coverage today by criticizing the $3 trillion coronavirus relief bill as a “massive giveaway” to the health industry and proposing a pandemic-specific version of 'Medicare for All'
for “handing more money to private insurance companies who put profit over people’s actual health.” Data for Progress conducted a poll for Sanders, shared first with POLITICO, showing his Medicare expansion bill garnering far more support than Pelosi’s COBRA model.
The Alliance to Fight for Health Care — a coalition of major hospital and insurance companies, unions and consumer advocacy groups — is among the prominent groups lobbying Congress to sustain workplace health coverage.
