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.

BenjySarlin The Democrats are not going to take away my insurance and put my medical needs under the control of the government!

BenjySarlin It’s dead

BenjySarlin How many trillions of dollars is it going to cost!? You may no longer complain about the national debt! Ever!

mimizelman BenjySarlin “the bill does not contain a provision of how it’s going to be paid for. We’ll work the financing out down the road.” 🙄

BenjySarlin These dopes are making easier and easier for the GOP to take 2020. Y’all keep it up.

hardball BenjySarlin WhiteHouse GOP DNC IMO Medicare works great because we all pay into it since our first paycheck, so when you get 65 the funds are there, but this Bill makes it FREE for everybody since teens ? They will bankrupt Medicare & then what ? Where is the money ? Any adults anywhere?

BenjySarlin Fantastic. Thank you to all involved !!

BenjySarlin So if gubmint is guaranteeing healthy care can they force people not to smoke, drink or get fat? Mandatory exercise and requiring certain diets?

BenjySarlin Democrats want to give away what Americans have worked for. What a crowd Trump2020 VoterFraud

BenjySarlin That’s the problem with DC today. They make all kinds of bills and create all kinds of laws FIRST and then try to figure out how to pay for it SECOND! When they can’t they just borrow more money.

BenjySarlin Democrats work for all Americans. Go Dems 💜

BenjySarlin

BenjySarlin The Democratic House is really working hard putting bills together that benefit the working class and poor! All while they are pursuing the Truth regarding crimes committed by the Trump Administration! Such a change from the Republican House! ForThePeople

hardball BenjySarlin Good luck!

BenjySarlin Will they be forced to have this insurance like they didn't have to with obumercare

lavndrblue BenjySarlin MedicareforAll system estimated cost is $2.93 trillion, which is less than the $3.34 trillion we’re paying now so that's a 10 percent reduction

BenjySarlin

BenjySarlin I'll be going on Medicare this year but I'm happy if they finally get it through so everyone can get on it. Those that want to keep private insurance through insurance companies, I say let them. Something tells me that would be about ten people.

BenjySarlin so you lose your great private plan so everyone can have a cut-rate shitty plan?

BenjySarlin No more 'some whites only'?.

BenjySarlin It shall be rejected as its impossible. We shall never force medical staff to be nothing more than government serfs

BenjySarlin Extremely long lines to see any doctor... Many doctors will quit. It will cost billions more than they say it will..

BenjySarlin Pramila Jayapal is so great. Thank you for your clean, honest service.

BenjySarlin Finally, a plan!
