I september 2017 introducerede Sanders, med 15 senatorer, inklusive [[Elizabeth Warren]] fra [[Massachusetts]], [[Kirsten Gillibrand]] fra [[New York (delstat)|New York]] og [[Cory Booker]] fra [[New Jersey]], som co-sponsorer, sit ''Medicare for All''-lovforslag, en plan for statssponsoreret sundhedspleje.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/09/bernie-sanders-single-payer-health-care-legislation/539676/|title=Bernie Sanders Makes His Pitch for Single Payer|last=Foran|first=Clare|publisher=The Atlantic|language=en-US|date=2017-09-13|access-date=2020-03-12}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.gillibrand.senate.gov/news/press/release/gillibrand-announces-support-for-medicare-for-all-legislation|title=Gillibrand Announces Support For Medicare-For-All Legislation|publisher=The Office of U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York|language=en-US|date=2017-09-12|access-date=2020-03-12}}</ref> Nogle [[Republikanske Parti (USA)|Republikanere]] har nedladende kaldt Sanders' lovforslag "Berniecare" - et spin på [[Barack Obama]]s "[[Sundhedsreformen i USA|''Obamacare'']]".
