Bernie Sanders Just Released His Single-Payer Health Care Plan

From Patrick Caldwell's article for Mother Jones:

On Wednesday afternoon, Sen. Bernie Saders (I-Vt.) introduced an ambitious proposal to transition the country away from a system of private health insurance, with the government instead offering a beefed up version of Medicare to every person in the country. “Health care in American must be a right, not a privilege,” Sanders said. ‘Today, we begin the long and difficult struggle to end the international disgrace of the United States, our great nation, being the only major country on earth not to guarantee health care to all of our people. As proud Americans, our job is to lead the world on health care, not to be woefully behind every other major country.

The healthcare fight is far from over, but I'm glad we have someone like Sanders fighting that fight.
