Joe Biden endorsed a public option for health insurance in the form of a Medicare buy-in on the campaign trail Monday, moving closer into alignment with calls from others in the Democratic primary to go beyond Obamacare.

“We have to give everybody the peace of mind they deserve. Whether you’re covering it through your employer or on your own or not, you all should have a choice to be able to buy into a public option plan for Medicare. Your choice. And the insurance company isn’t doing the right thing by you, you should have another choice,” the former vice president said in his first rally since announcing his candidacy for president in 2020 in Pittsburgh.
