NOT Medicare for All.
This will probably strengthen his already strong grip on the segment of Democratic primary voters who rejected Bernie and Bernie-ism last time.
If his health holds up he may over time become the one and only standard bearer for the Dem moderates (like me) even as the further left continues divided between their original daddy, Bernie, and the scattering of alternatives more appealing to the oh-no-not-another-old-white-guy crowd.
Joe Biden rolls out expanded Affordable Care Act health plan
Former Vice President Joe Biden has released a plan his campaign said would make the Affordable Care Act easier to navigate with more choices for Americans.
The plan would expand upon the Affordable Care Act passed under the Obama-Biden administration and provide a public option for patients to buy into, rather than a "Medicare-for-all" system that several of Biden's 2020 rivals advocate for -- a contrast Biden has already started to draw on the campaign trail.
"We should not be starting from scratch. We should be building from what we have.
"There is no time to wait. And I that's why I think, what I'm proposing -- and we can do it -- is to keep Obamacare, restore the cuts that have been made, and add a public option," Biden said during an event in Dover, New Hampshire, on Friday.
"If they like their employer-based insurance, you get to keep it. The fact of the matter is, all the other proposals make you -- you lose it. Period."
