We're proud to partner with Senator Bernie Sanders in the fight to pass Medicare for All, so we wanted to make sure you saw his recent op-ed in The Guardian on the urgent need for guaranteed health care.
Here's an excerpt:
It’s time to guarantee healthcare to all Americans as a human right
Bernie Sanders
"Our Medicare For All legislation would provide comprehensive healthcare coverage to all without out-of-pocket expenses and, unlike the current system, it would provide full freedom of choice regarding healthcare providers.
No more insurance premiums, no more deductibles, no more co-payments, no more filling out endless forms and fighting with insurance companies.
And comprehensive means the coverage of dental care, vision, hearing aids, prescription drugs and home and community-based care…
Guaranteeing healthcare to all Americans as a human right would be a transformative moment for our country. It would not only keep people healthier, happier and increase life expectancy, it would be a major step forward in creating a more vibrant democracy. Imagine what it would mean if our government worked for ordinary people and not just powerful corporate interests."
