A single-payer “Medicare for All” system is embodied in H.R. 676, sponsored by Rep. John Conyers and 92 other members of Congress. It would have:
• Automatic enrollment for everyone
• Comprehensive services covering all medically necessary care and drugs
• Free choice of doctor and hospital, who remain independent and negotiate their fees and budgets with a public or nonprofit agency
• Public or nonprofit agency processes and pays the bills
• Entire system financed through progressive taxes
• Help job growth and the entire U.S. economy by removing the burden of health costs from business
• Cover everyone without spending any more than we are now. See fn. 6.
