A "Medicare for all" bill is forthcoming, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said Sunday on CNN's State of the Union.
"It seems like we're through" the Republican health-care debate, said host Jake Tapper, so "are you going to introduce single-payer?" "Absolutely, of course we are," Sanders replied. "You know, we're tweaking the final points of the bill, and we're figuring out how we can mount a national campaign to bring people together." Sanders decried the United States' unique situation as a major country without state-guaranteed health care, labeling congressional Republicans' stalled plan "crazy."
