Expresses support for enacting a national Medicare for All system of health care coverage that provides universal health insurance for all Americans.

Cites that nearly 30 million Americans lack health insurance coverage and medical bills contribute to two-thirds of all bankruptcies in the United States.

Notes that the United States ranks last among industrialized nations in health outcomes and administrative complexity in the current system consumes nearly one-third of national health care expenditures.

Proposes that a single-payer Medicare for All system would cover all necessary medical services including prescription drugs, hospital care, preventive care, dental, vision, and long-term care without copays or deductibles.

States that administrative savings from a Medicare for All system would be sufficient to cover currently uninsured Americans and improve coverage for those with inadequate insurance.
