Senate Democrat Demurs On ‘Medicare for All’

Wait 5 sec.

“Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ) stopped short of endorsing Medicare for All as the banner issue Democrats should run on in 2028 on Tuesday, instead arguing that the party should campaign on the broader promise of ‘guaranteed coverage’ and universal care,” Semafor reports.“He pointed to his MediKids proposal — legislation that would guarantee universal healthcare coverage for every American under the age of 26 — as an example of how the party could pursue universal coverage through a more targeted approach to build towards guaranteed care.”Said Kim: “I think it’s a stand-in for where we’re trying to head towards. I think we should be running on that guaranteed coverage, on that universal care.”
