5. This just in: Sheldon Whitehouse will cosponsor the Medicare for All single-payer health insurance bill that Bernie Sanders is introducing next week. Senator Whitehouse intends to cosponsor this bill to move the conversation forward on single-payer health care, spokeswoman Meaghan McCabe told me Friday night. The senator will also continue to press for legislation to create a public health insurance option, which he co-authored with Senators Brown and Franken, and has long supported. Jack Reeds office has not yet said whether he will sign onto Sanders legislation, which is already emerging as a high-profile litmus test for Democrats.
