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"
