State provided health care, as is the case in the rest of the developed world.
The term is used here because anything that references the "state" or "government" has become toxic in large parts of the country thanks to Koch-funded hysteria. The American Medical Association demonised "socialised medicine" decades ago.
A new progressive favourite for the same thing is "Medicare for All", which capitalises on the fact that Medicare (state-provided health care for the elderly) is incredibly popular, even among those who "despise the state".
