Joe Biden Plays Dirty, Offers Bribe Just To Lure Bernie’s supporters
On thursday, Biden campaign announced two new policies on health care and student debt that aimed at appealing to supporters of Bernie Sanders, who ended his presidential campaign for the Democratic nomination on Wednesday, Axios reported.
Why it matters: The policies don’t go as far as Sanders’ platform, but they signal that joe Biden is serious about incorporating elements of his former rival’s agenda in an effort to help unify the Democratic Party and defeat President Trump in the general election.
However the policy announcements directly reference Sanders and his supporters, noting that they can “take pride in their work in laying the groundwork for these ideas.”
First: Lower the Medicare age from 65 to 60.
Under Biden’s plan, Americans would be able to choose whether to access Medicare benefits when they turn 60.
If not, they would be permitted to remain on their employer’s insurance, Biden’s “public option” or other plans they can access through an Affordable Care Act marketplace.
Second: Forgive student debt for low-income and middle-class individuals who have attended public colleges and universities.
Specifically, Biden’s proposal forgives all undergraduate tuition-related federal student debt from two- and four-year public colleges and universities — as well as private Historically Black Colleges and Universities and private, underfunded Minority-Serving Institutions.

Reducing the age for medicare to 60 is a reasonable move – but totally insignificant for most of us.
And forgiving student debt with seemingly arbitrary cut offs, and with no consideration for those who’ve previously slaved to avoid or pay off a substantial amount of debt – is imho divisive and misguided. (While there are plenty of other progressive approaches to the cost of education and student debt that are worthy of consideration.)
For serious Bernie supporters this is all a nothing burger. While of course there are some who will get on board – as anything is better than 4 more years.
