Neera Tanden, who is Biden's pick for OMB director, is ardent opponent of Medicare For All.
Here is Neera on 2016 DNC Platform Committee rendering "healthcare is a human right" meaningless and redefining words to help Democrats suppress movement for universal health care:

Centrist liberal Neera Tanden, a Hillary Clinton loyalist and think tank president, is exactly who the health insurance industry want in White House to make sure expanding Medicare to cover all Americans never becomes a budget priority for Biden-Harris administration.
Third Way previously received funding from Wall Street and Koch Brothers. The centrist think tank is backed by health care, pharmaceutical, & other corporations and aggressively opposed Bernie Sanders' platform.
They are very pleased with Biden picking Neera Tanden for OMB.

During Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign, Neera Tanden was a prime supporter of recruiting liberal columnists to weaponize identity and stifle Bernie Sanders' campaign for economic, racial, social, and environmental justice. https://twitter.com/kgosztola/status/791281862341632001
There was the time in September 2017 when Neera Tanden disingenuously positioned herself as a supporter of Fight for 15 — the struggle to raise the minimum wage to $15/hr. https://shadowproof.com/2017/09/05/former-clinton-aide-disingenuously-presents-bold-fight-15-advocate/
Neera Tanden was against including opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) in the 2016 DNC Platform, even though Clinton and Sanders campaigns were against the trade deal.
She—and other Clinton Democrats—did not want to hurt Obama's feelings.

Neera Tanden opposed language that would've indicated the Democratic Party was against the abuse of eminent domain to build new fossil fuel infrastructure in the United States.
She cowardly argued the right could use what Democrats said against them. https://shadowproof.com/2016/06/29/the-democratic-partys-neoliberal-rationalizations-of-corporate-power-endanger-the-planet/

In 2016, Neera Tanden was part of a bloc of Clinton Democrats who opposed banning fracking, a carbon tax, keeping 80 percent of known fossil fuels in the ground, and govt litmus test for blocking energy infrastructure projects.
Dr. Cornel West, who was on the DNC Platform Committee in 2016 and bore witness to Democrats like Neera Tanden blocking measures for responding to climate change, condemned “neoliberal rationalizations of corporate power.”
