WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) issued the following statement regarding the “Medicare for All” proposal being unveiled today:
“I oppose ‘Medicare for All’ because I told the people of North Dakota I would not support legislation that takes away their health insurance. This socialist takeover of health care would bankrupt the nation and eliminate the health care plans used by hundreds of millions of Americans, including the 58% of North Dakotans who receive insurance from their employers. Given the skyrocketing premiums and limited choices caused by Obamacare, I support changes to our health care system that would drive down cost, provide choice, and allow people to keep the plans they like. ‘Medicare for All’ would do the opposite.”
