Friend, Governor Baker just declared a state of emergency due to the coronavirus outbreak.

There have been more than 90 reported cases of coronavirus in Massachusetts, with more than 1,000 reported cases in the country. Infuriatingly, the response from the Trump administration has been slow and inadequate.

As a result, uninsured sick people could pay hundreds of dollars out-of-pocket to simply get tested for the virus. I believe that everyone should have access to COVID-19 testing and treatment for free.

This crisis demonstrates why we need to pass Medicare for All. Universal healthcare would ensure that a medical crisis like this one would not disproportionately hit working families and the uninsured harder. If you believe in policies like Medicare for All, then please invest $15 now into our movement.

Our federal leaders had significant warning of the virus’ spread, yet waited until it had hit our shores to begin formulating a plan to respond. Now, weeks and more than 1,000 official cases later, we still do not have one.

This is a public health crisis. The first step in combating this crisis is to ensure that every single person who calls this country home has access to the healthcare they need. Our healthcare system is only as strong as the sickest in our country.

Join our grassroots movement now to help me win so that we can finally pass Medicare for All.

If we can afford a massive tax break for corporations, then we can afford to take care of our communities. Our families deserve better than the response that our government has given them. When I’m in Congress, we can and will do better for our community.

In solidarity,

Alex
