Bernie Sanders: My running mate will back Medicare for All

Joe Garofoli and Anna Bauman March 1, 2020

Excerpt:

Sanders told The Chronicle on Sunday that he won’t choose a running mate who doesn’t support his signature issue, Medicare for All, a government-run single payer health system that would require Americans to give up their private health insurance.

“We will pick somebody who knows the experience of working families in this country, who has a history of fighting for those families and somebody whose politics are similar to mine,” Sanders told The Chronicle in an interview before a rally in a San Jose convention center.

“That’s always something that you want to see in a politician ... sticking their ground,” Arenas said. “It just makes you feel like you got someone there for you.”
