Medicare for All Act

This bill would create a government-run health insurance program covering all people living in the United States, with automatic enrollment at birth or upon becoming a resident. It would cover a wide range of medical services, including hospital care, prescription drugs, dental, vision, mental health, long-term care, and reproductive care, and patients generally would not have to pay deductibles or copays. Private insurance companies could only offer extra coverage beyond what the program provides, and most existing federal health programs and insurance exchanges would end, though veterans' health care, TRICARE, and Indian Health Service would continue. The program would be phased in over four years, starting with people 18 and younger in the first year, and the government would be required to negotiate prescription drug prices.
