    Biden and Sanders Allies Settle on a Party Platform
The new policy recommendations for Joseph R. Biden Jr. , crafted jointly by allies of Mr. Biden and Senator Bernie Sanders, are the clearest sign yet that the moderate and progressive wings of the Democratic Party are trying to unite far more than they did in 2016.
    【R1】___________________
    The task force’s recommendations stop far short of Mr. Sanders’s signature health care policy initiative, a single-payer "Medicare for all" system that would enroll all Americans in a generous government-run health plan. Instead, the task force supports a government-run insurance option that would be offered to all Americans on a sliding scale according to income—and automatically provided to low-income Americans free.
    【R2】_______________________
    Mr. Biden’s views on criminal justice had already shifted drastically since he helped pass the 1994 crime bill, and the task force’s recommendations reinforce that transformation. They call for eliminating private prisons, ending cash bail and eliminating mandatory minimum sentences. The task force also suggested a federal standard for police departments’ use of force, a national database of police officers who commit misconduct and an end to sentences of life without parole for juvenile offenders.
    【R3】_______________________
    The recommendations to Mr. Biden include more expansive and expensive plans than he has embraced in the campaign. They are heavily focused on addressing racial inequality and on getting Americans back to work in the wake of the recession caused by the pandemic. The details include asking Mr. Biden to "explore" a so-called baby bonds proposal to provide every child with a government-funded savings account at birth. A section on job creation urges consideration of another plan; a large-scale federal employment program in areas such as infrastructure development.
    【R4】_______________________
    The task force report represents something of a shift away from the policy commitments of the Obama-era Democratic Party. Instead of emphasizing standardized tests to drive accountability for teachers and students, the document talks about holistic tests of students’ skills and the importance of schools as community centers that provide a broad array of social services, such as health care and meals. The document commits to tripling federal aid for low income schools and to increasing funding for students with disabilities. School desegregation by race and class has emerged in recent years as a major concern for progressives.
    【R5】________________________
    The report indicated that the agenda of a Biden administration would focus on undoing President Trump’s restrictionist policies. The task force recommended that Mr. Biden work with Congress to maintain protections for about 700,000 young immigrants known as Dreamers from deportation. Mr. Biden should increase the number of refugees who can be allowed into the United States from 18,000 to 125,000 per year, and raise that cap over time, the committee said. And it called for ending the national emergency declaration that Mr. Trump has used to siphon billions of dollars in Pentagon funding for a wall along the southwestern border.
【R1】
