Sen. Bernie Sanders will publicly unveil a new version of his single-payer healthcare bill today.

Among his ticket of early supporters and 15 co-sponsors include Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Cory Booker (D-New Jersey) and Tom Udall (D-New Mexico). Following a House bill allowing Medicare for all, the bill will eventually die in a GOP Congress. But aside from political debate, what does universal health care need to succeed in America?

AirTalk dives into a full hour of analysis with economists and policy experts.
