The Risks Of Medicare For All

The 2020 Democratic presidential candidates are split over how to deal with our troubled health care system.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has reintroduced a "Medicare for All" bill, co-sponsored by four of his primary opponents: Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Kirsten Gillibrand and Cory Booker. Others, like South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, say we should "move in the direction of a Medicare-for-all system" by introducing a public option but also preserving private insurance.

We'll talk about the possible expansion of Medicare with health care expert Jon Kingsdale, who was instrumental in the implementation of Massachusetts' 2006 health care reform.
