The text of HR676 (Medicare For All) as PDF (30 pages). The FAQ. Compare HR3200 with HR676.

Medicare for All would save $350 billion a year (study in New England Journal of Medicine).

In 2003, a young Illinois state senator named Barack Obama told an AFL-CIO meeting, "I am a proponent of a single-payer universal healthcare program*." -- Bill Moyers.

20:05:03 lambert What do you mean, expand?
19:48:09 a little night musing How, Lambert, did I manage to expand?
19:47:33 lambert Chat's a bit asynchronous, but that's OK!
19:45:28 a little night musing lambert: I think that there is a connection.
19:42:56 a little night musing Meanwhile, carry on about the sucky health insurance reform bills. Yecch.
19:37:44 a little night musing Tribes. Hmm. (Indication of thought)
19:36:07 a little night musing Lambert asked "Does "inverted totalitarianism" connect to Silber's "tribalism" and if so, how?" I have just finished a comment in which I disconnected from my own tribe a bit, so I'm felling on edge here. AND, first post to chat, so be gentle!
17:25:02 Jeff W But co-oping public opinion through a "tribalism" (normative) approach would fall within "inverted totalitarianism," I guess. (Sorry for the confusion.)
