Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont took aim Thursday at presidential nomination rival Joe Biden, accusing the former vice president of using insurance industry “talking points” to criticize Sanders' plan to implement a government-run “Medicare-for-all” system. “It is really sad that Joe Biden is using the talking points of the insurance industry to attack Medicare for All,” Sanders claimed in an email to supporters. Biden, instead, has been pushing for a public option to strengthen and supplement the national health-care law better known as ObamaCare. At Tuesday’s fourth-round presidential primary debate, Biden once again criticized “Medicare-for-all,” taking aim at its price tag. “That is more than they will possibly save on this health-care plan.”BIDEN TAKES AIM AT SANDERS AND WARREN OVER 'MEDICARE-FOR-ALL'Responding, Sanders indirectly accused Biden of failing to stand up to the health-care industry.
