Hillary Clinton strongly backs public option, wins praise from Bernie Sanders

Obviously, Sanders' hanging around is paying off.

Hillary Clinton strongly backs public option, wins praise from Bernie Sanders

On Saturday morning, Hillary Clinton released a new health care policy proposal that emphasized several major progressive priorities, including a public option and increased funding for community health centers.

In the proposal, Clinton pledged:

*To give Americans in every state a "public option" health insurance plan
*To let Americans as young as 55 years old opt in to Medicare
*And to double funding for primary care services at community health centers

Sanders: "The Clinton campaign and our campaign are coming closer and closer together"
