Rep. Kucinich's co-authored bill, H.R. 676, is his health care plan entitled United States National Health Insurance (USNHI)

Kucinich's plan:

• Provides universal care to all Americans by giving every person a card with a specific number for them.
• The health care system would convert to a not-for-profit system in a 15-year span through the sale of U.S. Treasury Bonds.

Kucinich's plan would cover:

• Primary care
• Outpatient & Inpatient care
• Emergency Room visits
• Prescription drugs
• Mental health
• Dental coverage
• Basic vision care

USNHI would provide universal care by:

• Reducing paperwork in the health care field. A problem health care providers solve by maintaining administrative staffs that use up 31% of total cost of health care -- a savings of up to $350 billion per year.
• Reducing the cost of medications
• Increasing taxes for the top 5% of income earners
• Instituting a payroll tax
