Democrats To Announce ‘Sweeping’ Health Care Bill, Pelosi Says

House Democrats will observe the ninth anniversary of the Affordable Care Act's signing into law by announcing health care legislation aimed at lowering costs and protecting people with pre-existing conditions, Bloomberg reported.

The health care bill is expected to be presented to the public on Tuesday, according to an advisory issued by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.

The proposed measure will come forth as more than 100 House Democrats support a "Medicare For All" bill introduced in February by Progressive Caucus co-chair Representative Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash. The legislation has no chance right now of becoming law in a divided Congress. Medicare For All would create a universal, single-payer health program. Pelosi and a number of party moderates have announced their reluctance to see such a proposal become law.

In addition to Jayapal's proposal, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., announced his own version of "Medicare For All" that would include government coverage of long-term care in a single-payer health care program.
