‘Medicare-for-all’ is no longer purely theoretical
‘Medicare-for-all’ is no longer purely theoretical-rollcall: The single-payer “Medicare-for-all”
bill that House Democrats are releasing Wednesday seems like it should stand a
good chance of attracting more support than last year. But Rep. Pramila Jayapal
of Washington, who will introduce the bill, said 107 House Democrats are
initially supporting the measure. That number is fewer than the 124 Democrats
who had formally backed an earlier version of the measure by the end of the
last Congress.
