Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders held a town hall meeting Tuesday to inform the public about his "Medicare for All" health care proposal after observing that mainstream media has largely ignored the plan.

“It’s a discussion you’re not likely to see on the mainstream news,” Sanders said. “This event will not be interrupted by commercials for the drug companies.”

During the meeting, which lasted nearly two hours and was livestreamed on the web in conjunction with NowThis News, The Young Turks and ATTN:, Sanders and nine guests answered questions about universal health care and provided perspectives on how countries across the globe, such as Canada and Norway, implement single-payer health systems.

While the town hall was not broadcast on any major news outlets, it did receive over a million clicks during the livestream. Watch video footage of the event above and read more about Medicare for All in the following piece from AlterNet:
