New 'Medicare for All' House Caucus Formed to Promote Single Payer Healthcare

[guillaumeb]

From the article:

A large group of progressive Democrats in the House of Representatives established a new “Medicare for All” caucus on Thursday morning. This was an important step to eventually move universal healthcare legislation through Congress.
With 70 Democrats joining the formal caucus this sends a message to Republicans — and to Democratic Party leaders like Nancy Pelosi — that they are serious about getting something done, and not just talking about it. The formation of the caucus increases the feasibility of passing legislation and it also gives the policy more staying power because there is strength in numbers.

I realize republicans want the US to be the laughing stock of the World in all aspects, so it won't get anywhere soon, but it's a start.

2. 70 members is over 1/3 of the House Democrats.

And many feel that we must change the narrative of what is possible instead of pushing Romneycare.

in November we could make real progress on this issue.
