The powerful Culinary Union in Nevada is warning that Sen. Bernie SandersBernie SandersWinners and losers from the New Hampshire primary Sanders on NH victory: Win is 'beginning of the end for Donald Trump' Buttigieg congratulates Sanders on 'strong showing' in New Hampshire MORE’s (I-Vt.) "Medicare for All" plan would “end” their health care plan. 

The warning comes in a flyer distributed by the union and obtained by The Nevada Independent. It could pose a problem for Sanders in the state ahead of the caucuses on Feb. 22, given that the Culinary Union is a key force in elections in the state. 

The flyer describes Sanders’s health care plan by saying it would “End Culinary Healthcare.” Under his Medicare for All plan, all private health insurance would be replaced with a government-run plan.

An earlier flyer from the Union, also reported by the Independent, issued a broader warning about Medicare for All.

“Presidential candidates suggesting forcing millions of hard working people to give up their healthcare creates unnecessary division between workers, and will give us four more years of Trump,” the flyer stated.

He proposes an optional government-run health plan that would allow unions and others to keep their private health insurance if they want it. 

“There are 14 million union workers in America who have fought hard for strong, employer-provided health benefits,” Buttigieg tweeted. “Medicare for All Who Want It protects their plans and union members' freedom to choose the coverage that's best for them.”
