House Democrats Create Medicare for All Caucus

[YE]

FFs. For the record, I'd be fine with a non for profit mutli-payer health care system but that isn't an easy sell to the public. No average Joe is interested in hearing some nuanced and wonky health care system and "Medicare for All" just sells well since they approve of medicare as it is.

"Medicare for All" is a great name because it's a specific commitment. This is easier to distinguish from the GOP's spurious commitment to "universal access" (i.e. health care for anyone who can afford it).

Let's not get into another situation where we elect people who promise us "universal health care" but instead burden us with a sick joke like the Affordable Care Act.

Is "Medicare for All" the same thing as single-payer?  I used to think that the best thing progressives could expect from a D trifecta is a public option, but single-payer appears to be (slowly) becoming the Democratic position.

Yes, all members of this caucus support the single payer bill sponsored by Keith Ellison, HR676. However, Medicare for all isn't to be confused with Medicare Extra which is a public option.
