* '''2009-01-26''' [[US 111 HR 676]] ({{wikipedia|United States National Health Care Act}}) sponsored by [[John Conyers, Jr.]] "To provide for comprehensive health insurance coverage for all United States residents, improved health care delivery, and for other purposes." Essentially makes [[Medicare]] universal; single-payer plan. Obama-Biden is not backing this bill, as Obama has apparently dropped support for single-payer, and it seems to have dropped off the radar -- which is too bad, because most people who support HR3200 would probably support HR676 even more. | * '''2009-01-26''' [[US 111 HR 676]] ({{wikipedia|United States National Health Care Act}}) sponsored by [[John Conyers, Jr.]] "To provide for comprehensive health insurance coverage for all United States residents, improved health care delivery, and for other purposes."
