This is why local reporting is so critical in the primary. This plan of @BernieSanders is really good and superior to any other plan I've reported on.

Bernie addresses everything that has failed seniors in the current #Medicare iteration. Anyone who has an elderly parent knows how much Medicare doesn't cover. And last month I did an investigative report on women and #poverty--nearly 1 in 3 65+ women are living in poverty.

Sanders has been largely discounted in this primary, in part due to remaining resentment toward him from 2016 and then because he did nothing to improve and refine his message in 2019. But this is really good policy and others should want to adopt it.

Also, please don't @ me if you are commenting on the piece without reading it. As a journalist, I get that every day on my own work--it's really offensive. Everyone should want to be as educated as possible about policy in this primary, no matter which candidate presents it.
