[1]NNU - Medicare for All!
Since the federal government’s public health emergency around COVID-19
ended this past March, more than 10 million people have been disenrolled
from Medicaid in what’s been deemed the “Medicaid unwinding.”^1 More than
2 million of those purged from Medicaid are children who’ve lost their
health care coverage, and in some states like Texas, the disenrollment
rates are as high as 65 percent.^1 Additionally, over 70% of the
disenrollments have occurred due to “procedural” reasons such as missing
paperwork, and many of those affected should still be eligible.^1
This is the horrifying result of unnecessary administrative hurdles and
the reversal of pandemic-era policies, and it would never have happened if
we had Medicare for All.
Our movement to pass guaranteed health care for all in the United States
through a single-payer system needs your support.

We launched these quarterly calls after supporters asked us for more
opportunities to be in community with fellow health care justice advocates
and learn from one another.
This next call will provide an opportunity for Medicare for All activists
around the country to come together in a shared space, hear from each
other, and receive training on tactics for organizing in our communities.

time with fellow activists, and get inspired to take action in your
community, this call is for you. RSVP now to join us this December!
Thanks for being in this important fight with us,
