Pramila Jayapal and Debbie Dingell made history when they introduced a new, improved Medicare for All Act of 2021 into the House with a record number of cosponsors, 111 total, who represent more than half of House Democrats and the majority of Americans. HR 1976 is a transformative legislation that would guarantee health care to everyone in America as a human right at a moment in which more than 87 million people are uninsured or underinsured during a pandemic. Endorsed by 300 local, state, and national organizations and co-sponsored by more than half of the House Democratic Caucus including 14 committee chairs and key leadership members, the landmark bill provides comprehensive benefits to all with no copays, private insurance premiums, deductibles, or other cost-sharing.
