Excerpt:
Sanders, who is again seeking the Democratic nomination for president, will unveil the bill alongside Senate co-sponsors, some of whom are also candidates for president.
Sanders last introduced the bill in 2017, with support from presidential candidates Sens. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.)
A spokesperson for Booker said he would again cosponsor the bill, but Gillibrand, Harris and Warren's offices did not reply to requests for comment.
Sanders's bill would largely eliminate private insurance and institute a single-payer system managed by the government.
The updated version will also include long-term care, such as nursing homes, which is currently not covered by the Medicare program.
Home and community based care which also be covered.
