The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.WASHINGTON — As the debate over Medicare For All heats up on the 2020 trail, House progressives are opening a new front in Congress with a detailed single-payer bill that they plan to aggressively push this year.
"I think this Medicare For All bill really makes it clear what we mean by Medicare for All," she said."We mean a complete transformation of our health care system, we mean a system where there are no private insurance companies that provide these core comprehensive benefits that will be covered through the government."
There are hearings on Medicare For All planned in the House Budget Committee and Rules Committee, though it’s not clear if the bill will come up for a full vote this session. Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has not endorsed Medicare For All, but progressive members say they've come to an understanding with leadership that their bill will get a prominent look this Congress.
