Sen. Stabenow Pushes Plan to Expand Medicare Access to People 50 and Over
Is lowering the age for medicare a politically palatable approach?
One of the early benchmarks for Democrats running for president in 2020 is whether they support a Medicare-for-all-style universal healthcare plan.
But many Democrats on Capitol Hill—especially moderate Democrats—are focusing on something they say is a more politically palatable approach.

Senator Stabenow joins Detroit Today with Stephen Henderson to speak further about the idea of expanding healthcare.
