Create a Single-Payer National Health Insurance Program

We spend over $2.3 trillion, or $7,500 per capita, for healthcare in the US, yet 42 percent of people under 65 have inadequate or no insurance coverage. Over 59 percent of physicians now support a national, single-payer health insurance system for everyone. Under single-payer national health insurance, we can pay for a comprehensive program with the same money we are now spending by removing for-profit insurance companies — and cover every single person in the United States. HR 676, the "Expanded and Improved Medicare for All Act." is a good start.
