At a much-anticipated event in Washington, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and 16 Democratic co-sponsors are introducing the 2017 Medicare for All Act, which aims to "revolutionize" American healthcare by replacing the current for-profit system with a single-payer program that would provide insurance to all Americans as a right.
"When an idea catches fire, when people see the justice of that idea, it moves very, very quickly," Sanders wrote on Facebook ahead of Wednesday's event. "As we work to create a country where healthcare is a right to all, remember: the momentum is on our side."

Donald Trump’s attacks on democracy, justice, and a free press are escalating — putting everything we stand for at risk. We believe a better world is possible, but we can’t get there without your support. Common Dreams stands apart. We answer only to you — our readers, activists, and changemakers — not to billionaires or corporations. Our independence allows us to cover the vital stories that others won’t, spotlighting movements for peace, equality, and human rights. Right now, our work faces unprecedented challenges. Misinformation is spreading, journalists are under attack, and financial pressures are mounting. As a reader-supported, nonprofit newsroom, your support is crucial to keep this journalism alive. Whatever you can give — $10, $25, or $100 — helps us stay strong and responsive when the world needs us most. Together, we’ll continue to build the independent, courageous journalism our movement relies on. Thank you for being part of this community. |
