Culinary Union: 'Disappointing' to see Sanders supporters attacking us over health care criticism

[RandySF]

Nevada's Culinary Union accused supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) of launching vicious attacks, intensifying a feud over health care between a leading Democratic presidential candidate and an influential player in the Nevada caucuses.

"It’s disappointing that Senator Sanders’ supporters have viciously attacked the Culinary Union and working families in Nevada simply because our union has provided facts on what certain healthcare proposals might do to take away the system of care we have built over 8 decades," the union said in a statement.

The union, which represents 60,000 employees in Las Vegas and Reno, received pushback from Sanders's supporters after it circulated a flyer that stated the Vermont senator's "Medicare for All" health care plan would "End Culinary Healthcare."

That isn't wrong; under Medicare for All, private health insurance would cease to exist and would be replaced with a government-run plan.

Sanders and his campaign argue it would benefit the entire country, and Sanders also has argued that overall health care expenses would be reduced.

But it would mean members of the culinary union could lose the health care coverage they have negotiated.

The flyer also stated, "Presidential candidates suggesting forcing millions of hard working people to give up their healthcare creates unnecessary division between workers, and will give us four more years of Trump."
