In the ad, the Medicare for All PAC claimed expanding Medicare and lowering the age to 60 would help the nation\u2019s overall economy recover.<\/p>\n<p>The ad is scheduled to run in swing districts in hopes of gaining Biden and Congress member\u2019s attention. Additionally, hoping to expand Medicare with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/117\/bills\/hr1976\/BILLS-117hr1976ih.pdf\">reconciliation package<\/a> which focuses on Democrat economic priorities.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">FIRST IN HUDDLE \u2014 The Medicare for All PAC, chaired by Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) is out with a new 30-second ad urging Biden and members of Congress to expand Medicare in the reconciliation package.

Yet, many Republicans have expressed serious disagreements with Medicare for All, along with the controversial idea of creating a public alternative to private health plans.<\/p>\n<p>Medicare for All is chaired by Democrat Rep. Pramila Jayapal (Wash.). Jayapal has used COVID-19 as a way to introduce Medicare for All, saying citizens have lost coverage this year due to the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>In March, Jayapal and others reintroduced a bill supporting the health care coverage, a bill not supported by Biden. This support did not come as a surprise, as <a href=\"https:\/\/berniesanders.com\/issues\/medicare-for-all\/\">Bernie Sanders<\/a> and Jayapal announced proposals back in 2019 to make the federal government the largest insurer of Americans, replacing private insurance with a publicly run insurer.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">When we say Medicare expansion, it&#8217;s not lowering the eligibility age OR expanding benefits.
