In a letter to the director of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), House Budget Committee Chairman John Yarmuth (D-Ky.) asked the agency to examine the logistics of the single-payer system and how it would affect the federal government.
Yarmuth’s letter is the latest sign that progressives are pushing hard for the establishment of a single-payer health care system, often referred to as “Medicare for All.” He asked in the letter addressed to CBO Director Keith Hall for a list of logistical and financial concerns that lawmakers will need to consider in attempting the health care overhaul.
