representative pramila jayapal, a democrat from washington, is co-chair of the medicare for all caucus. it is nice to have you back. rep. jayapal: it's great to be on. soledad: thank you. so we're talking about medicare for all that would move basically the u.s. to a single payer government-run health care system. tick off for me exactly what that would entail. rep. jayapal: yeah. so definitely a single payer system, not government run in that we would use the same underlying system of hospitals and doctors that's currently there. what medicare for all does is it says, let's do what every other industrialized country in the world does and provide universal coverage for everyone paid for by the government. so it takes the existing medicare system which people generally are very satisfied with though they don't think it includes enough. so we actually expand the range of benefits to include things like vision and dental. we include long term supports and services. and then we expand that to everybody. soledad: so if a democrat does not support your plan or does not support bernie sanders
