Two House Democrats reintroduced health care overhaul legislation that would provide universal coverage but stop far short of the sweeping 'Medicare for All' plan embraced by several 2020 presidential candidates
Two House Democrats reintroduced health care overhaul legislation Wednesday that would provide universal coverage but stop far short of the sweeping "Medicare for All" plan embraced by several 2020 presidential candidates.
"Medicare for America," a plan first introduced last year by Democratic Reps. Rosa DeLauro and Jan Schakowsky, would create a new version of Medicare that would be open to people of all ages. It would provide coverage for newborns, who would be automatically enrolled in the program, uninsured Americans and those currently on Medicare, Medicaid and Obamacare plans.
