WASHINGTON - Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden and rival Bernie Sanders are waging a public battle this week over universal healthcare, staking out competing turf on an issue that has become the most divisive in the party’s primary campaign.
Biden, vice president for eight years under former President Barack Obama, said a $750 billion plan he introduced on Monday would strengthen Obama’s landmark healthcare law known as Obamacare and include an option for a paid government-run plan. He called Biden’s criticism “absurd” and openly questioned which side Biden and others who oppose Medicare for All were on.
Both Sanders and Biden are looking to rebound from a dip in their opinion poll numbers after the first Democratic presidential debate in June. The liberal Urban Institute estimated the Sanders plan would cost $32 trillion over a decade, with the additional taxes raising about $15 trillion.
