John Conyers on Why He Keeps Introducing a Medicare for All Bill.
"First elected to Congress in 1965, John Conyers is the oldest serving representative in the House... He has won re-election twenty-five times and is serving in his twenty-sixth term. And he has been introducing a Medicare-for-All bill in the House since 2003...
on his website, he explains why: ...
... The United States still spends almost twice as much per person on health care as any other country, yet our key outcomes – life expectancy, infant mortality and preventable deaths – too often lag behind our peers. A recent Commonwealth Fund study ranked the U.S. healthcare system dead last among 11 highly developed countries in terms of quality, efficiency and access to health care.
... More and more people across the country understand that a single-payer healthcare system is the only way to guarantee quality care and at the same time reduce medical costs.
...That is why I have introduced my bill, The Expanded and Improved Medicare for All Act, in every Congress since 2003. It is co-sponsored by more than 50 Members of Congress and support continues to grow."
