Sanders Town Hall on Tuesday, January 23

Medicare For All

On Tuesday, January 23^rd, Bernie Sanders is holding a Town Hall on Medicare for All.

"For the first time in American history we will be holding a nationally televised town meeting on Medicare for all. The United States is the only major country on earth not to guarantee health care to all people, but amazingly there has not been one network town hall to discuss why our system lags so far behind every other industrialized country," Sanders said.

Sanders will aim to answer a pressing question — how exactly a "Medicare for all" system would work — and will be joined by "leading health care experts," according to a news release. The Washington Post reports that the town hall will break out into three segments: the current state of health care in the country, the possible economic impacts of single-payer and the way universal health care works in other countries.

The event will be live-streamed by various online outlets, including NowThis, ATTN:, and The Young Turks, as well as on Sanders' own social media accounts, from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Click on any of the above links to watch the Town Hall.
