Progressive Democrats Join Sen. Bernie Sanders's Reintroduction of Medicare for All Act
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Democratic Congressmembers Pramila Jayapal and Debbie Dingell joined
Vermont independent Senator Bernie Sanders on Tuesday in reintroducing
the Medicare for All Act, which would provide universal single-payer
healthcare based on patient needs, not industry profits.

Sen. Bernie Sanders: "Our legislation would provide comprehensive care
to all Americans - rich, poor, young or old - with zero out-of-pocket
expense. It would provide full freedom of choice regarding healthcare
providers: You go to the doctor or the nurse that you want to. No more
insurance premiums, no more deductibles, no more copayments, no more
filling out endless forms!"
