'As we speak, there are millions of people who would like to go to a doctor but cannot afford to do so,' said SenSanders. 'This is an outrage.'
released last March by Families USA estimated that roughly one in every three coronavirus deaths in the U.S. up to that point were linked to gaps in insurance coverage.
"In fact, the Congressional Budget Office estimated that Medicare for All would save Americans $650 billion a year," Sanders said during his opening remarks at Thursday's hearing. The path to passage is even more treacherous in the Senate, where the majority of the Democratic caucus has not signed onto Sanders' legislation. Late last year, conservative Democrats in the upper chamber—including Sen. Joe Manchin —tanked the Sanders-led effort to expand Medicare's benefits to include hearing, dental, and vision.
