Juven Jacob Discusses Medicare for All in The Mary Sue
Juven Jacob is quoted in The Mary Sue’s coverage of Abdul El Sayed’s proposal to secure President Trump’s support for Medicare for All by offering him the opportunity to put his name on the plan.
A former presidential appointee in the Biden-Harris administration, Jacob explains how the proposal appeals to Trump’s interest in recognition while keeping the focus on helping people afford health care. He also notes that attracting the president’s attention is only a first step: lawmakers would still have to address financing and the transition from existing insurance.
