People's Assembly For Medicare For All
The US healthcare system is utterly inhumane. It covers less, provides lower quality care, and costs more than any other developed nation's health care system. Meanwhile, insurance and drug companies continue to make record profits at our expense. It's time we move to make healthcare a right in this country and pass Medicare For All.
Activists from all over the country are coming together during the August recess to hold People's Assemblies on Medicare For All, to demand our members of Congress cosponsor HR 1384, the Medicare For All Act of 2019.
Date: Wednesday, August 7th, 7:00-8:30pm
Location: Sierra 2 Center, Garden Room, 2791 24th St, Sacramento, CA 95818 |
