“I believe that a path to health care for all is a path that is following the lead of the Affordable Care Act.” SpeakerPelosi discusses her stance on health care with MadMoneyOnCNBC's JimCramer.
Pelosi's thoughts on how to improve the nation's health-care laws appear to align with those of former Vice President, who in his 2020 presidential bid is calling for building on provisions of Obamacare, formally known as the Affordable Care Act.
Several 2020 candidates are advocating for some version of Medicare for All. Arguably the most drastic proposal is from Sen., I-Vt., who is calling for eliminating private health insurance and replacing it with a universal Medicare plan. Proponents say it would help reduce administrative inefficiencies and costs in the U.S. health-care system. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., has backed Sanders' proposal.
Pelosi's comments also come as lawmakers and the Trump administration are both trying to pass legislation sometime this year that would bring more transparency to health-care costs and, ultimately, lower costs for consumers.
