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.
