Warren co-sponsoring Sanders's 'Medicare for all bill'

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said Thursday she is co-sponsoring Sen. Bernie Sanders's (I-Vt.) "Medicare for all bill," the latest Democrat to back a signature Sanders campaign issue.

"I believe it’s time to take a step back and ask: what is the best way to deliver high quality, low cost health care to all Americans?" Warren, among those listed as potentially running for president in 2020, said in a statement Thursday.

"Everything should be on the table – and that’s why I’m co-sponsoring Bernie Sanders’ Medicare for All bill that will be introduced later this month."

Warren joins Sanders, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and even more moderate Senators like Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) who this week said that the idea deserves attention. Warren said Medicare for all is a way for every person in the country to have access to high-quality health care.
