Bill de Blasio blasted Beto O'Rourke on Saturday over the former Texas lawmaker’s opposition to “Medicare for All,” accusing his fellow Democratic presidential candidate of engaging in 'lazy fear mongering tactics'

Sen. Bernie Sanders' single-payer plan, with others like Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Kirsten Gillibrand and Kamala Harris supporting more moderate buy-in plans. Nine candidates — including O'Rourke and former vice president Joe Biden — oppose Medicare for All.at Biden for spreading "misinformation" after he said the single-payer plan was "risky" and would destroy the current Medicare program.

"Despite what you hear about Medicare for seniors being weakened, it will actually be strengthened," Sanders said. Biden's spokesperson Bill Russo later called out the Vermont senator on Twitter, saying that the Sanders plan clearly showed "that existing federal health programs go away."

De Blasio and O'Roukre are part of the problem not the cure.

M4A will kill our economy.

two morons not going anywhere fast

Blasted? He blasted ignorance BetoORourke responded calmly and factually.

Medicare for All puts the likes of de Blasio, Sanders, Warren in total charge of your health care. Freedom lost. The tax paying middle class will pay more for rationed care, waiting lines, doctors under government control than it does now for premiums for private insurance.

BilldeBlasio is probably working with the Establishment to get their chosen candidate elected. What is the point of his candidacy?

The majority of Americans want to be able to keep their employer sponsored insurance plans! But who cares what constituents want, right Bill?

BREAKING NEWS: Democratic presidential candidate A, who doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning, criticizes candidate B, who doesn't have a meatball's chance in a tiger cage. America watches SNL rerun.

Beto support just went up now

I’m a left leaning democrat and I do not think Medicare for all is the answer. I’m On Medicare and it has flaws most noticeable is the prescription drug donut hole. It’s not a good place to be and I’m stuck there for the rest of the year.

Why is anyone listening to this empty suit?🙄

the same Bill de Blasio who was my want away counsil member in Brooklyn... and couldn't even manage that job. Bill they dug in the streets at 5am. email resonce, thank you for your letter Schools are very important. and he wants to be President. lol/

I did like De Blasio.

Anyone want NY taxes?

Worrying about a $40 trillion program isn’t fear-mongering - it’s reality.

Let these putrid socialists eat each other. It makes America a little safer

Warren Wilhelm Jr. blasted Robert Francis O'Rourke?

Beto de Blasio

The Republicans are winning this debate by sitting still and watching Democrats kill each other over the details on how to achieve what they all believe in.

Yeah whatever Dude

No Bill! You're aiming in the wrong direction again! We said Biden, not Beto! I mean, the guy's not even polling in the top ten anymore . . .

Sparring 😂 Oh Politico...you gotta get out more.

As usual you got it all wrong. Might want to try doing some actual reporting. You know...check facts. Do some research. de Blasio was just out attacking & trying to get some attention. Beto O’Rourke has the facts and a plan: Medicare for America which gives people choices.

“Blast” “spar” used amplifying to create drama.

You know what's lazy? You not reporting on Beto's response.

Well I hope Bill enjoyed the petty cheap shots while they lasted, because this next round will be his last trip to the debate stage and then we won’t be hearing any more outta him. Karma’s a bitch.

DeBlasio is not very good at this.

Y’all are lazy and sad!!! de Blaiso is the one that was blasted!!!

BetoForAmerica PolicyDrivenByPeople not party affiliation

BetoForAmerica PolicyDrivenByPeople not party affiliation

Yeah because baselessly accusing someone of being Trump just because their proposal for universal healthcare get more applause at the AARP forum than yours that you're piggie backing on isn't fearmongering 🙄 Universal Healthcare means universal coverage not Medicare for all!

Pro-big pharm commenters are weird, nothing wrong with this headline, Beto is scamming the people. We all want Medicare for All, which costs less over 10 years than the current, failure of a system. Medicare for America is a scam.

Please, Politico, do some homework on the substance. M4America is the most pragmatic option not only for getting universal, quality coverage in the US but in eventually transferring everyone to a public system. Here's a primer for you.

Desperate Fuckstick. Go fix the subway BDB. Beto's got this.

Blah, Blah, Blah de Blasio, we don't need a single payer plan. America wants and need choices for healthcare to work. BetoORourke has a better plan and will be the best plan for bipartisan consensus and become law Beto2020.

Beto doesn't want to turn out like Blasio

It’s not a plan between rich and poor. It involves unions. Beto is looking at the whole picture. Nothing will matter if the temperature keeps going up world wide.

Lazy is promoting a feel good idea that you know will never pass congress just to sway votes.

Bill, honey, really? You're fear mongering. M4A is not the only solution. Go fix your city.

Once again lazy reporting and cherry picking to get some click bait headline. Rob_Flaherty any comment

Medicare for America is the superior plan anyways. Oh well it's not like William is gonna make the third debate.

Thanks Snarky. Re insurance- I would love to see us have ins like the rest of the world. But. It won’t happen overnight. Beto, as usual, wants the best for the most. And 46 will have plenty of crap to clean up after the mess of 45.

Please, drop out! You will not get the nomination! These dumb medicare for all, free college tuition, reparations, will not pass both Senate & House Reps. Stop playing the American Voters!

I would not call rambling for relevance and a snow cone 'blasted'.

Pretty sure it was de Blasio that got blasted... just saying.

Fix the headline. Beto blasted DeBlasio. Also half his constituents blasted him for how he is running the City.

Stupid headline. Media do your work. Don't be lazy.

Well, this will shake up the race.

Yet more proof de Blasio is full of shit.

He picked a fight with Beto and Beto knocked him out. Correct the Headline.

NYCMayor Health care for all? Would this eliminate the Affordable Care Act? So deductions would be made from social security recipients, but how the Masses would pay their premiums. SenKamalaHarris

Two guys who will never be president.

Beto is not lazy and works for every vote. His policies are comprehensive and Medicare for America-written by house reps- is hands down the better plan. Doing what is right-selecting the better path is not lazy. It's smart. Subways running?

Get it straight, Politico. Y'all are some kinda lazy.

That's like drunk fighting, except with mental cases instead

Medicare for America gives people choice. It is a plan high supported by American. I hope Politico spend some time to learn the two plans and explain the different between M4A and M4America to America people instead of talking about the cheap attack.

We are in debt, we don’t need more debt !

Not so much, but it was a cute attempt by the Mayor to garner some attention. BETO2020🇺🇸

.BilldeBlasio goes on the attack against .BetoORourke for his opposition to MedicareForAll. Argues all Private insurance companies must be eliminated for equitable treatment.

$21 Trillion dollars is missing from the US government. That is $65,000 per person - as much as the national debt!\\ Where is the money? How could this happen? How much has really gone missing? What would happen if a corporation failed to pass an audit like this? Or a taxpayer?

We want food on the table not a food fight!

He's terrified of Bennet too.

This headline and article are ridiculous.

Rewrite the clickbait title: de Blasio trying desperately to be relevant by making irrelevant analogies de Blasio practicing buffoonery de Blasio getting schooled by O'Rourke on healthcare de Blasio pretending to care about people de Blasio not able save NYC, striking randomly

Bill's insecurity is showing! Why does BetoORourke frighten him so much? For someone who can't fix his Subway, I don't think he has much business trying to be an expert on anything! He should keep his insecurity hidden!

Both fighting for that coveted 11th place finish in Iowa

Tell Bill De Blasio to get his city under control! They can barely scrape together electricity for their citizens. Do you really want healthcare run like NY electric grid or their sub standard subway? Yuck! Highest taxes & lowest quality of services!

Theses 2 should drop out

BetoORourke call out Bill 'TheJerk'DeBlasio for being MIA during a Blackout and has he given the Gardner family justice when that cop is still working and ask Mayor Pete why is the police chief still working and those 2 bad cops

De Blasio got blasted for it too! New Yorkers said he needs to fix the subways, and that he is not capable of being president.

Medicare for America is the highest polling healthcare policy to date. Period. It is the future. NewKindOfPolitics Beto2020

Yeah, the 'lazy fear mongering tactics' of realizing that the majority of Americans don't want to kill off private insurance and prefer a plan that achieves universal coverage without eliminating choice.

Beto set him straight

Truth hurts

Could someone please explain to me what Bill is doing in this race.

Racist
