In nod to Sanders, Clinton offers new health care proposal

He confirmed it on July 6, telling MSNBC he was in regular talks with the Clinton campaign, and that his tacit support won’t be far off if Clinton continues to adopt his major policy positions, like providing free college education to the public.

Not coincidentally, it comes three days before she is scheduled to make her first joint campaign appearance with Sen.

Sanders, a USA senator from Vermont, is still in the running for the Democratic nomination, but Clinton has already secured the requisite delegates needed to clinch the nomination at the party’s July 25-28 convention in Philadelphia.

The New York Times reported on Thursday that an endorsement is imminent, and Sanders is expected to officially throw his support behind Clinton, a former usa secretary of state, at a campaign stop in New Hampshire early next week.

Mr Sanders has indicated he would hold off endorsing Ms Clinton until her proposals on issues like healthcare and an increased federal minimum wage more closely reflect the liberal policies he has touted during his own White House bid.

Clinton’s support for the public option dates back to at least 1993, when she and her husband, then-President Bill Clinton, advocated for it during their unsuccessful effort to expand access to health insurance. The hope is that this competition can help keep premiums for all the insurance plans low, particularly if the government-run plan has the ability to dictate low reimbursement rates to doctors, hospitals, drugmakers, and other suppliers of medical care.

Although the expected Democratic presidential nominee acknowledged more work needs to be done to ensure universal, quality, affordable health care is available to all Americans, she offered that her plan would build on the work of the Affordable Care Act.

Clinton said she would support people 55 or older to buy into Medicare while protecting the traditional Medicare program. Trump hasn’t shared his great idea with the American people, most likely because it doesn’t exist.

In a conference call Sunday morning, Sanders said Clinton’s proposal to double the nation’s investment in Community Health Centers and primary care providers over the next decade will create healthier communities. She also affirmed her commitment to providing a “public option” insurance plan in each state. Please see our terms of service for more information. Sanders called the plan a “bold initiative”. It would be $40 billion over 10 years. Regarding the endorsement, he said he would have more to say in the very near future.

In a statement, Clinton said: “Already, the Affordable Care Act has expanded coverage to 20 million Americans”.

On Saturday, he said, “It will save lives, it will ease suffering and it will improve health care in America and it will cut health care costs”. The centers, which largely serve communities in rural areas, have always been a priority for the senator from Vermont who fought to include $11 billion in funding for the centers in the Affordable Care Act of 2010.
