Last week, Senator Bernie Sanders, Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, and Congresswoman Debbie Dingell reintroduced Medicare for All in the House and Senate, and we've been blown away by the support.
Check it out:
- 112 House Members signed on as original cosponsors before the bill was introduced, the highest number ever on the date of introduction. And now, we're already up to 113 members!
- The House cosponsors include 13 powerful committee ranking members, such as Rules Committee Ranking Member Rep. Jim McGovern, Energy & Commerce Committee Ranking Member Rep. Frank Pallone, and Education and Workforce Committee Ranking Member Rep. Bobby Scott.
- The House cosponsors also notably include a total 19 House freshmen, signaling the growing support for Medicare for All among younger and newer members.
- 14 Senate members signed on as original cosponsors including freshman Senator Peter Welch (D-VT).
- And more than 200 national, state, and local organizations endorsed the Medicare for All Act of 2023 including National Nurses United.

The United States is functionally the only industrialized country in the world where getting sick can make you go bankrupt. We deserve so much better than our broken, expensive health care system. Medicare for All is the way forward.
Not only will Medicare for All guarantee health care to everyone, it'll also be hundreds of billions of dollars cheaper than the broken, for-profit system we have now. It is cost-effective and humane, and it's time that we make it a reality.
Add your name to our petition to join a mass movement of people across the country calling on Congress to guarantee health care as a human right.
In solidarity,
Nurses’ Campaign to Win Medicare for All
