...we must not only pass Medicare for All, but ensure that it includes coverage of community-based long term support services as well as massive federal investments in home and community-based services (HCBS)...
Pass Medicare for All with community-based long-term supports and major federal investment in home and community-based services.
Occurrences
Summer L. Lee is listed among the cosponsors.
Evidence
The bill’s latest action is House referral on 2025-04-29, and its tracker still shows the status as Introduced. The summary says the bill would establish an improved Medicare-for-All national health insurance program and include long-term care benefits, including home- and community-based services. Summer L. Lee is listed among the cosponsors.
The issue page says Medicare for All would expand coverage and lower prescription drug prices, and it links to a January 8, 2026 press release in which Lee said, 'We need Medicare for All' while pressing for ACA tax credits and renewing her push for Medicare for All.
Assessments
Summer L. Lee has continued to advocate for Medicare for All and is listed as a cosponsor of H.R.3069 in the 119th Congress, which would create a Medicare-for-All program including long-term care and home- and community-based services. However, the bill remains at the introduced/referral stage and has not passed, so the promised federal policy outcome has not yet been delivered during her current service.
