Analysis: Biden wants a ‘public option’ health plan. Two Senate moderates say they have just the bill
By Paige Winfield Cunningham
To get more Americans covered, President Biden wants to create a government-backed “public option” health plan and expand Obamacare subsidies.
Two moderate Democratic senators, Tim Kaine (Va.) and Michael Bennet (Colo.), say they have just the bill to accomplish that. It’s called “Medicare-X.”
“We think the bill we’re introducing is the closest match to what came from the Biden campaign,” Kaine told reporters Wednesday.
