The Progressive Vision for Healthcare

"An essential part of our progressive vision is an America where no citizen of any age fears the cost of health care, and no employer refuses to create new jobs or cuts back on current jobs because of the high cost of providing health insurance…We should expand Medicare over the next decade to cover every citizen—from birth to the end of life-…because it will free Americans from the fear of crippling medical expenses and enable them to seek the best possible care when illness strikes."
