We Can Blame The Democrats for Killing Medicare for All
Sen. Elizabeth Warren did not answer her fellow Democratic presidential contenders who wanted to know how she proposed to pay for her Medicare for All plan.
According to Fast Company, “Warren also handed a few pages from her playbook to her plan’s real opposition, the Partnership for America’s Health Care Future, a consortium of sometimes disparate health-industry heavyweights, from insurance companies to private hospitals to Big Pharma.”
The partnership headed by Lauren Crawford Shaver has led a “wide-ranging media and lobbying effort to defeat any movement toward either a single-payer or public-option healthcare system.” The healthcare industry expects any Democratic candidate that rises in 2020 to be a threat to the existing system.
