The government run health care plan proposed by Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders was rejected in Senate on Wednesday.
Sanders, an independent and a socialist, believed his plan to be the only rational approach to cost-efficiently revolutionizing the health care system. Sanders position against private health care providers is not unpopular and the notion of a government run insurance provider remains a possibility in the future.
The Senate measure that many expect is the advancement of an option for a nonprofit private plan to be managed by the Office of Personnel Management, the agency charged with overseeing the insurance coverage received by federal employees.
