President Donald Trump announced the beginning of enrollment for Medicare Advantage plans Oct. 15 by attacking Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and his "Medicare for all" plan, according to The Hill.
"Open enrollment starts today on lower-priced Medicare Advantage plans so loved by our great seniors. Crazy Bernie and his band of congressional Dems will outlaw these plans. Disaster!" President Trump tweeted.
The tweet came after Mr. Sanders responded to an op-ed penned by President Trump attacking Mr. Sanders' Medicare for all plan, which the president claimed would dismantle traditional Medicare benefits.
"Our proposal would not cut benefits for seniors on Medicare, as the president and his Republican allies claim," Mr. Sanders wrote. "In fact, we expand benefits. Millions of seniors today cannot afford dental care, vision care or hearing aids because Medicare does not cover them. Our proposal does."
