WASHINGTON - U.S. presidential candidate Bernie Sanders released a plan on Saturday to eliminate $81 billion in Americans' existing medical debt, going beyond his Democratic White House rivals and expanding on his signature proposal for a government-run health insurance system.
"The very concept of medical debt should not exist," Sanders said in a statement."In the wealthiest country in the history of the world, one illness or disease should not ruin a family’s financial life and future." Sanders, one of 19 candidates seeking the Democratic nomination to challenge Republican President Donald Trump for the White House in the November 2020 election, has fallen behind fellow progressive U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren in some polls in the nominating race.Warren and some other candidates have signed on to parts or all of Sanders' Medicare for All plan, although many have called for it to be just one option among healthcare insurance choices.
