In the wake of COVID-19, more than 33 million of our fellow
American workers have had to file for unemployment. And in a
country that still ties health insurance to employment instead of
guaranteeing it as a human right, it's estimated that up to 35
million Americans will lose their health care coverage.
This would be unthinkable in any other democracy--especially
during a pandemic. But because of big money's stranglehold on
Congress, it's our sad and dangerous reality.
The truth is that if our neighbors and families in our
communities can't see a doctor, they can't stop the spread of the
virus. That puts all of us at greater risk. That's why we need
Medicare For All. But it's also why I've introduced the Medicare
Crisis Program Act -- to expand Medicare and Medicaid eligibility
during this crisis, urgently getting health care coverage to
everyone who needs it. It'll make them healthier while also
making all of us healthier.
Add your name now to sign on in support of my Medicare Crisis
Program Act to ensure that everyone who needs health coverage
gets it during the COVID-19 pandemic!

Health Care is Human Right
( [link removed] )
Medicare is the most efficient way to quickly provide
high-quality health care for the unemployed and their families --
and at a far lower cost than schemes that use private insurance.
In fact, if taxpayers foot the bill for employer-based coverage,
the costs would be double that of Medicare. Medicare isn't only
more effective and more popular, it's also cheaper.
Despite the facts, some members of Congress are supporting the
employer-based alternative and we need your help to get their
support for the Medicare Crisis Protection Act.
Health care should be a human right. That's why I support
Medicare For All. Sign here to demand that Congress take
immediate action to pass my legislation so we can cover everyone
during this COVID-19 pandemic.
