Opponents of Medicare for All argued that the platform was heavily based on the draft produced by a joint task force of Biden and Sanders supporters.

"This language that we supported in the Biden-Sanders unity task force was agreed by all members," Chris Jennings, a former aide of Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton who served on the health care task force, told The Wall Street Journal. "It's a part of the strongest health care language in the Democratic Party's history."

Did Bernie decide to stop pretending?
