Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., called on the House to publicly debate and vote on the proposed "Medicare for All" bill, according to The Hill.
Ms. Jayapal, who co-chairs the Medicare for All caucus, said it's time for Democrats to go from being co-sponsors of the universal healthcare proposal to supporting it through votes.
"We are going to be pushing for it to get a hearing ... to have this debate on the floor," Ms. Jayapal said during an organizing call Nov. 13 with the National Nurses United union.
Ms. Jayapal said her caucus is working on a revised version of the bill that they hope to introduce next session.
