Jim Newberger on Health Care

Opening up Medicare for anyone would cost $32 trillion

Additionally, he said government programs like MinnesotaCare, a state-run insurance for the working poor, need to remain in place as a "safety net for our most vulnerable," but in general, government needs to step away from health care. Opening up Medicare for anyone who wants it would cost $32 trillion, Newberger suggested. That is a proposal many Democrats support.

Klobuchar, meanwhile, said the federal government must keep requiring insurers to provide policies to people with pre-existing conditions. Another important provision, she added, is the ability to allow parents to keep children on their insurance until they are 26.
