What Went Down On Night Two Of The Second Democratic Debate

While Gillibrand focused on Republicans, Booker took the more Sanders-esque approach from last night and made the status quo the villain.

Medicare for All can mean different things — and they poll very differently. Part of what we’re seeing debated is health policy, and part of what we’re seeing is a debate about the meaning of Medicare for All.

The framing of “getting rid of 150 million people’s health care” is not ideal. Medicare-for-all, as proposed by Sanders and Warren, will cover dental and a ton of expenses and get of rid of a lot of co-pays. The people who lose their health insurance from their employer might like the Medicare plan better, if it was described in full.
