Sanders Advocates for 'Medicare for All' with Senate Control

• Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) called for Democrats to pass 'Medicare for All' legislation when they take control of the Senate in January.
• Sanders stated that healthcare should be considered a human right, not a privilege.
• Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) is expected to lead the Finance Committee, and Sen. Sanders is the presumptive next chair of the health committee.
• 'Medicare for All' legislation is now supported by 66 percent of the American people.
• The Democratic flip of the Senate could breathe life into efforts to create some type of a universal healthcare system.
