Warren said Sanders's plan is a way for every person in the country to have access to high-quality health care.

"Everyone is covered," she said. "Nobody goes broke paying a medical bill. Families don’t have to bear the costs of heartbreaking medical disasters on their own."

Warren called health care a basic human right, adding that it's "time to fight for it."

"But there's so much more we could do right now to bring down the costs of quality health care for every American," she wrote.

Last month, Harris announced during a town hall her support behind Sanders's "Medicare for All" bill.

"I intend to co-sponsor the 'Medicare for All' bill because it’s just the right thing to do," Harris, another potential Democratic presidential hopeful, announced Wednesday at a town hall in Oakland.

"It's not just about what is morally and ethically right, it also makes sense just from a fiscal standpoint," she said.
