Representative Pramila Jayapal on Apr.29 introduced the Medicare for All Act, joined by Senator Bernie Sanders, Representative Debbie Dingell, and hundreds of nurses and health care workers in front of the US Capitol.
The legislation proposes a single-payer, government-funded health care system that would eliminate premiums, deductibles, and copayments, and expand coverage to include dental, vision, hearing, reproductive and mental health services.
“It is a travesty when 85 million people are uninsured or underinsured and millions more are drowning in medical debt in the richest nation on Earth,” said Jayapal in a statement. “We don’t suffer from scarcity in America, we suffer from greed. That’s most clear in our broken health care system, which is why we need Medicare for All.”
