'Americans deserve a healthcare system that guarantees health and medical services to all,' said RepCori.
As the hearing kicked off, Jayapal—the chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus—said that"the pandemic has made it clear now more than ever that we must guarantee healthcare as a human right with no copays, no deductibles, and no premiums."
"We need Medicare for All now, when nearly 100 million people are uninsured or underinsured in the richest nation on the planet," she added."There's no excuse for this broken system—where parents have to choose between taking their kid to the doctor or paying rent. Today, we take a major step forward on this critical legislation in the House Oversight Committee."
"The path ahead is tough," Jayapal continued,"but Medicare for All is necessary, popular, and most importantly will save thousands of lives. I'm going to continue fighting to make it the law of the land."
