The Hill

10 May 2019 - The House Budget Committee on Friday announced that it will hold a hearing on single-payer health care on May 22, marking another step forward for the progressive proposal on Capitol Hill.

The hearing will be the second one on the idea of single-payer, sometimes called "Medicare for All," that House Democrats have held this year since taking back the majority.

The upcoming hearing will be focused specifically on the budget implications and will feature testimony from three officials at the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, who are sure to be pressed by Republicans on the cost of the program.
