House progressive Democratic leaders are set to unveil their own sweeping version of Medicare for all
The bill is sponsored by Reps. Pramila Jayapal of Washington, Debbie Dingell of Michigan and supported by more than 100 others. It's similar both to prior Senate legislation from independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and a House version that had been introduced several times by former Rep. John Conyers of Michigan. The proposal would overhaul the nation's health care system by creating a government-run plan that would insure all Americans.
Insurers, hospitals, doctors and pharmaceutical lobbyists have created a coalition to tell lawmakers and the public of the dangers of a single-payer system -- which they argue would mean less choice and longer waits for care.
