The National Republican Senatorial Committee distorted U.S. Senate candidate Mandela Barnes' health care policies. Barnes supports Medicare for All, which would provide health care for millions more people — not fewer.
, which has not gotten a vote, includes: Hospital and emergency services; prescriptions; primary and preventive services; mental health and substance abuse treatment; lab services; reproductive care, including abortion; pediatrics; dental and vision services; and home and long-term services. There would be no out-of-pocket expenses, insurance premiums, deductibles or co-payments.
So, how does all of that square with the idea that Barnes’ position amounts to"stripping health care away from millions"? "I do not understand the logic of this claim," Barbara Wolfe, a University of Wisconsin-Madison professor of economics, population health sciences, and public affairs, said in an email to PolitiFact Wisconsin."Medicare for all would extend coverage to millions. Depending on the details of the actual plan it would likely resemble coverage in other Western Democracies, where all citizens, and sometimes residents, are covered.

South Carolina Senate moves to further restrict access to abortions(Reuters) -The South Carolina Senate on Thursday approved a bill tightening an abortion ban that is blocked by the state's highest court, following two days of fierce debate between anti-abortion Republicans and more moderate lawmakers from both parties. The bill the Senate approved would cut exceptions for rape and incest to the first trimester of pregnancy, not 20 weeks as the existing law provides. The South Carolina House earlier approved a near-total ban on abortions but Republican backers of the bill relaxed it after it became clear they lacked the Senate votes for a broad ban.
