What it does
Establishes a single-payer national health insurance program covering medically necessary care.
Why it matters
Forces a public debate on whether health care is a market commodity or a right — with CBO-scoreable design choices.
Progressive take
Meet fearmongering with OECD outcomes: the U.S. pays more for worse coverage. Point to the bill's benefits package and transition timeline, not vibes.
