It’s time to put people over profits and care over corporations. That’s why I’m reintroducing my Medicare for All bill to finally cement universal health care — everybody in, nobody out.
John, our current health care system does not work for us.
We’re now at the halfway mark of Q2 and we wanted to take a moment to ensure that our movement’s vision remains aligned with yours.
Health care is a human right. And it is unconscionable that America is the richest country in the world, yet over 40 million people are uninsured and cannot get health care due to extraordinarily high costs.
It’s time to put people over profits and care over corporations, John. That’s why I’m reintroducing my Medicare for All bill to finally cement universal health care — everybody in, nobody out.
If you’re ready to join our fight, send a letter to your Representative and Senators today and urge them to pass Medicare for All. We need as many community supporters as possible to make an impact in Congress.

The pandemic shed a direct light on our broken, for-profit health care system when nearly 27 million people lost their employer-sponsored health insurance due to job losses.
Looking at the COVID-19 pandemic and evaluating the true state of our longstanding health care system, the solution is increasingly clear: We need Medicare for All.
Under Medicare for All:
- Everyone will have health care, including dental, vision, hearing, and long term care.
- Expensive premiums, deductibles, co-pays, and other out of pocket costs will be eliminated completely.
- Roughly 95% of all U.S. households would save money on healthcare costs.
- The U.S. would save over $450 billion on health expenses annually.
Our country’s lack of universal health care is a racial justice issue. It’s a gender justice issue. And it’s an economic justice issue. As a progressive leader, I have a moral and ethical obligation to advocate for solutions that meet the urgency of all of our needs.
Please stand with me and our collective progressive movement and urge lawmakers to pass Medicare for All today. Send a letter to your members of Congress and demand they put people over profits and pass a universal health care bill that supports us all.

In solidarity,
Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal
