Moderate Senators Roll Out Universal Coverage Plan They Tout As ‘More Practical’ Alternative To ‘Medicare For All’

Sens. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) and Tim Kaine (D-Va.) are part of the moderate wing of the party, which is pushing for more incremental improvements to health coverage rather than overhauling the whole system. Their "Medicare X" plan would allow anyone to buy into Medicare, but leave the existing private insurance marketplace intact. Meanwhile, a progressive lawmaker questions House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's aide over reports he undermined the "Medicare for All" movement.
