Biden made a misleading claim to AARP that single-payer proposals like Sanders' would cause some sort of "hiatus" that would hurt people with cancer in some way. (Biden was vague.) There would be no coverage gaps, experts say. My fact-check w/@luhby: cnn.com/2019/07/18/pol…
Biden campaign says he's being misinterpreted.
What he meant, they said, is not that people would have a hiatus in coverage. Rather, it's that Sanders' plan would take so long to get through Congress that there'd be a hiatus between now and when it'd arrive.

Finally, worth noting that Biden's plan would also quite likely have a hard time getting through Congress, though it would make less dramatic changes than Sanders'. So...if that's what Biden means by the "hiatus" warning, his own plan also faces a hiatus issue.
