RUSH EXCERPT:
BECERRA: "Oh, absolutely. I’ve been a supporter of Medicare for all for the 24 years that I was in Congress. This year, as attorney general, I would fight for that if we had an opportunity to put that forward in the state of California, because I think what we do is we give people that certainty that they’re going to able to access a doctor or a hospital. The worst thing we used to have was situations were young families wouldn’t know if they should take their children to the hospital because it can lead to personal bankruptcy. That ended with the Affordable Care Act. We can’t go back to those days. And so, absolutely, when you give people access to Medicare and talk to seniors who have their Medicare who say keep your hands off my Medicare, I think it would have the same effect for most Americans if they knew they could depend on something like Medicare for themselves as well."
