This U.S. Senate bill would create a national health insurance program run by the Department of Health and Human Services. It would cover all U.S. residents automatically and include hospital care, prescription drugs, mental health treatment, dental, vision, long-term care, and more. There would be no copays or deductibles for most services. The program would be fully in place four years after the bill becomes law.
This bill would change how health insurance works in the U.S. If it passes, Houston residents would get health coverage through a new federal program instead of private insurance or current government plans.
