Sanders delegates signing petition to vote against Dem platform that doesn’t include ‘Medicare-for-all’
The petition says a 'majority of Americans believe 'Medicare-for-all' is the best way to achieve affordable and accessible health care

Just three weeks before the Democratic National Convention, hundreds of Bernie Sanders delegates have pledged to vote against their party’s platform if it does not include support for “Medicare-for-all.â€
The delegates argue that a Sanders-style single-payer health care system is an urgent priority in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic and the highest unemployment rates since the Great Depression.
Delegates from Nevada organized the petition and more than 360 of them – most of whom backed Sanders for president – have signed on, the petition’s organizers told Politico.
The petition claims that a “majority of Americans†now believe "Medicare-for-all" is the best way to achieve affordable and accessible health care.
