Biden enlists Bernie Sanders to highlight Democratic-GOP contrasts on health care

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : Mr. Sanders could serve as a critical link to those voters because he is a major champion for ideas like "Medicare-for-all" that appeal to progressive youth.
52% : The president also wants to let Medicare negotiate up to 50 drugs per year, an expansion of a signature program that will negotiate down the cost of at least 10 drugs starting in 2026.
38% : And they just released a budget that would lead to devastating cuts to Medicare and the Affordable Care Act, increased housing costs and prescription drug costs for families, and huge giveaways for the wealthy and the biggest corporations," a White House official said in a preview of the event.
32% : The Republican Study Committee, a major bloc of House Republicans, released a fiscal 2025 budget plan that would attack Obamacare and convert Medicare into a premium-support model, breathing life into the health debate in a campaign year.
29% : The Biden administration is trying to alleviate price concerns by attacking "junk fees" on things like airline tickets and hotel stays while leaning into health care -- a comfortable policy area for Democrats since the GOP failed to repeal and replace Obamacare in 2017.
