Excerpt:
U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont congressman who won Michigan's presidential primary in 2016, will join U.S. Rep. John Conyers in Detroit on Aug. 22 for a town hall meeting on health care and jobs.
The Detroit Democrat said the town hall will be held at 7 p.m. at Fellowship Chapel Church, 7707 W. Outer Drive in Detroit.
Sanders, who ran as a Democrat in 2016 but lists himself as an independent in the Senate, and Conyers are both supporters of universal health care.
Conyers introduced a resolution in January — the same one he's introduced every year since 2003 — that would expand and improve the Medicare program and provide universal access to care for all Americans. Sanders has announced he will be introducing a similar version of the legislation and has been a primary advocate for a single-payer health care system.
