"House Democrats revealed their highly anticipated “Medicare-for-all” legislation on Wednesday, to insure every American through Medicare by 2021. The legislation proposes to change the U.S. healthcare system into a single-payer program, an idea largely rejected by groups in the health industry.
The bill, introduced by Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal, has more than 100 co-sponsors as the push for universal health care intensifies in Congress ahead of next year’s election.
“Medicare-for-all will eliminate private insurance, make trips to the DMV look like a Caribbean vacation and cost taxpayers trillions,” NRCC spokesman Michael McAdams said in a statement on the organization’s website. “Good luck to the vulnerable House Democrats who will be forced to defend this $32 trillion boondoggle.”
