The Medicare for All Caucus is a congressional caucus in the United States House of Representatives, consisting of members that advocate for the implementation of a single-payer healthcare system. It was announced by progressive members of the House of Representatives in July 2018 with over 70 founding members, all Democrats.[1]
The Medicare for all caucus did not exist before this time. Bernie Sanders, in the United States senate, during the 2016 Presidential Primaries unearthed popular support for M4A which led to more obvious representative support.
