As the resolution heads to the Senate, OPB Politics Now looks at both the policy and the politics of the “health care for all” measure.

Kristian Foden-Vencil, who covers health care for OPB, and Jeff Mapes, OPB’s senior political reporter, grapple with an issue that could be headed for the November ballot.
