Time spent talking about healthcare adds up to about one-seventh of total debate time, the rest of which was split between 14 other issues.
On Nov. 20 at 9 p.m. EST, 10 candidates will go head-to-head in another debate that is expected to heavily focus on healthcare, according to The New York Times.
Since the last debate, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., produced details on how she would fund “Medicare for All,” as well as a three-year transition plan to a single-payer system that involves a public option. These policies mark a departure in her healthcare policy from Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who has said he would introduce a Medicare for All bill within the first week of becoming president.
These policies, as well as those of Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Ind., who supports a public option, are likely to be the focus of tonight’s healthcare discussion, according to The New York Times.
