ObamaCare Architect Rejects Sanders, Warren Health Insurance Plans

Dr. Zeke Emanuel -- a so-called architect of former President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act -- is not a fan of some of the health care insurance proposals coming from the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates.

On Fox Nation's "Deep Dive," Wall Street Journal editorial page assistant editor James Freeman asked Emanuel to weigh in on proposals by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., to eliminate private health insurance and force all Americans into a government-run, single-payer system.

"I don't think that's necessarily good," said Emanuel.  "I don't think politically it's going to pass. And I'm not an advocate of that as a plank for the Democrats.

"I just don't think that's a way of going forward because of a series of reasons and the country is not there," he continued.

In fact, Emanuel said that the Obama administration avoided pursuing a 'Medicare-for-all' model because it lacks sufficient public support.
