This bill — the Medicare for All Act — would provide individuals residing in the U.S. with healthcare for all “medically necessary care” under a single-payer healthcare system. Medically necessary care would include primary care, prevention, dietary and nutritional therapies, prescription drugs, emergency care, long-term care, mental health services, dental services, and vision care. Patients would be able to choose to receive care from any qualified institution, agency, or individual.

Only public or nonprofit institutions would be allowed to participate. Health insurers would be prohibited from selling insurance that duplicates the benefits provided under this bill, but could sell benefits that aren’t medically necessary such as cosmetic surgery.

People currently enrolled in federal healthcare programs through the Dept. of Veterans Affairs (VA) or the Indian Health Service would maintain their current medical benefits and services.

While this bill’s sponsor intends to raise taxes to cover the cost of this program, those provisions aren’t included within this legislation. Information about their proposed taxes can be found below.

","official_title":"A bill to establish a Medicare-for-all health insurance program.","short_title":"Medicare for All Act of 2017","popular_title":null,"short_summary":null,"summarized":true,"cost":null,"cost_commentary":"A CBO cost estimate is unavailable.","impact":"American healthcare consumers and taxpayers; healthcare providers; insurers; and the federal government.","argument_for":"A single-payer healthcare system is the best way to ensure that all Americans have access to the healthcare they need without having to worry about paying for health insurance. It would be more efficient than the status quo at controlling costs and produce better outcomes while bringing the U.S. in line with other developed nations with single-payer systems.","argument_against":"A single-payer healthcare system would concentrate too much power in the federal government, creating inefficiencies in the healthcare market. It would reduce physicians’ pay and consequently the quality of care they provide, and lead to long wait lists for patients to see their doctor — all while imposing a massive tax increase on middle-class Americans.","bill_type":"s","published":true,"type":"FederalBill","id":"s1804-115","bill_id":"s1804-115","formal_id":"S. 1804","chamber":"senate","congress":115,"last_action_at":"2017-09-13T00:00:00.000Z","active":false,"enacted":false,"enacted_at":null,"vetoed":false,"last_vote_at":null,"debated_on":null,"congress_url":"https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th/senate-bill/1804","plain_text_url":"https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/BILLS-115s1804is/html/BILLS-115s1804is.htm","shareable_image_url":"https://n.causes.com/share-images/bills/s1804-115.png","congress_full_text_url":"https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th/senate-bill/1804/text","is_current_congress":false,"last_version_on":"2017-09-13","related_bill_ids":[],"progress":"Introduced","house_passage_result":false,"senate_passage_result":false,"position_count":1262,"committees":[{"name":"Committee on Finance","chamber":"senate","committee_id":"SSFI","subcommittee":false}],"links":{"rollCalls":"/api/roll_calls?bill_id=s1804-115","details":"/api/bills/s1804-115/details","sharingMessage":"/api/sharing_messages/s1804-115","positionsFor":"/api/bills/s1804-115/positions/for","positionsAgainst":"/api/bills/s1804-115/positions/against"},"upcoming":false,"cosponsors_count":16,"slug":"s1804-115-medicare-for-all-act-of-2017","latest_chamber_votes_id":null,"official_url":null,"target_video":true,"following":false,"vote_count":5712,"yea_vote_count":4487,"nay_vote_count":1214,"passed_house":false,"passed_senate":false,"vote_id":null,"my_position_id":null,"topic_ids":["health"],"issue_ids":["health"],"sponsor_id":594}],"votes":[],"issues":[{"id":"health","name":"Health","slug":"health","description":"Federal legislation around Health, encompassing: the Affordable Care Act, Medicare, Research into diseases (Cancer, HIV/Aids, Ebola), Drug safety, Hospital care and prescription drugs.","page_title":"Health Related US Federal legislation, including Medicare, ACA, and research - Vote on Bills, Stay informed, Hold Your Reps Accountable","icons":{"black":"https://assets.causes.com/issue/icon/health/black_health-1429042037.svg","grey":"https://assets.causes.com/issue/icon/health/grey_health-1429042037.svg","white":"https://assets.causes.com/issue/icon/health/white_health-1429042037.svg"},"cover_image_url":null,"is_following":false}],"users":[{"name":"Isaac","vote_count":448,"photos":{"large":"https://graph.facebook.com/1890886271188150/picture?width=150&height=150","small":"https://graph.facebook.com/1890886271188150/picture?width=75&height=75","tiny":"https://graph.facebook.com/1890886271188150/picture?width=20&height=20","facebook":"https://graph.facebook.com/1890886271188150/picture"},"links":{"following":"/api/users/1Zxn0bP9/following","followers":"/api/users/1Zxn0bP9/followers"},"about_me":null,"twitter_id":null,"facebook_id":null,"youtube_id":null,"google_plus_id":null,"website":null,"slug":null,"issue_count":14,"is_following":null,"influence_score":390,"influence_level":20,"follower_count":13,"following_count":4,"position_count":397,"id":"1Zxn0bP9","partner_id":null},{"name":"burrkitty","vote_count":1145,"photos":{"large":"https://assets.causes.com/user/avatar/8mrvqvpm/large_8mrvqvpm-1581212707.jpg","small":"https://assets.causes.com/user/avatar/8mrvqvpm/small_8mrvqvpm-1581212707.jpg","tiny":"https://assets.causes.com/user/avatar/8mrvqvpm/tiny_8mrvqvpm-1581212707.jpg","facebook":"https://graph.facebook.com/724966854372469/picture"},"links":{"following":"/api/users/8mrvqvpm/following","followers":"/api/users/8mrvqvpm/followers"},"about_me":"You may have to confront the risk, the possibility, of your own death. Since the day you were born, that’s always been on the cards. Most of us find it easier to bury our heads in the sand. Avoidance is the #1 most popular coping strategy in the world. We live in denial of the self-evident fact that we all die eventually. The Stoics believed that when we’re confronted with our own mortality, and grasp its implications, that can change our perspective on life quite dramatically. Any of us could die at any moment. Life doesn’t go on forever. If you say that you won't vote in the general election if your candidate doesn't win the nomination, you're saying to millions of people you think their suffering is an appropriate price for your righteous indignation.\nThere is NO moral justification for sitting out this election.
