please correct me if i am wrong, but i haven’t seen any evidence that joe biden would do such a thing he’s been pretty against medicare for all on grounds it “costs too much” just as one example, and just recently called for companies to stop stock buy-backs during covid-19 [0] but nothing like that ↑ afaik...

https://joebiden.com/healthcare/ https://joebiden.com/healthcare/ “ Giving Americans a new choice, a public health insurance option like Medicare. If your insurance company isn’t doing right by you, you should have another, better choice.” https://joebiden.com/covid19/ https://joebiden.com/covid19/ “ A decisive economic response that starts with emergency paid leave for all those affected by the outbreak and gives all necessary help to workers, families, and small businesses that are hit hard by this crisis. Make no mistake: this will require an immediate set of ambitious and progressive economic measures, and further decisive action to address the larger macro-economic shock from this outbreak. Biden believes we must spend whatever it takes, without delay, to meet public health needs and deal with the mounting economic consequences.”

He's for some public option, but nothing mandatory. Generally nothing that would hurt big business too much, although he has shifted a bit to the left in recent years (and even weeks) as the Democratic Party has been doing so (Bernie's influence being significant also now).
