Endorse Warren’s four-year Medicare for All transition approach
Jayapal called Senator Elizabeth Warren’s transition plan a smart approach to reaching Medicare for All. Warren’s plan would use executive and administrative authority to expand existing programs’ benefits, let Americans buy in for a nominal fee that falls to zero by the end of the transition, and move people remaining on private insurance into the program in year three, with everyone covered by the end of year four.
Context: The detailed transition steps are Warren’s plan, which Jayapal praised; they are not presented as Jayapal’s own proposed implementation plan.
In their own words
Senator Warren’s plan is one smart approach
