The Democrats face many problems as they look to 2020. Bernie Sanders has apparently taken the initiative.
The Democrats have launched their “Better Deal” message. This is focusing on the very voters who helped Trump into office.
Sanders don’t support this plan. He believes it is the wrong way to go. His supporters also believe the same.
The issue for Sanders is the focus being only about the economy. He thinks it should also focus on health care. He thinks his Medicare for all idea is important for Presidential prospects.
Sanders will be introducing a single-payer bill shortly to Congress. Sen. Kamala Harris has thrown her support behind Sanders.
She reportedly has plans to run in 2020. Harris said that anyone interested in the next Election should get onboard.
Single-Payer
Single-payer is a healthcare system controlled by Government. The service is funded by taxpayers and covers everyone.
This is becoming the weaponry for Sanders, who hopes the Democrats will join. The Democratic Party has faced criticism recently for lack of unity.
The Medicare bill could be just the thing to unite them. Some think the bill is a litmus test for the Party members.
Nina Turner disagrees with this idea. She does agree however that supporting the bill is a great move. Turner is the President of Our Revolution, a group started by Sanders.
She said “I don’t want to frame it as a litmus test. It’s a value proposition. Either you value the lives of the American people or you don’t.”
Many Democrats themselves couldn’t be reached for comment. No one commented on if they supported the bill or not.
