[1]NNU - Medicare for All!
, this is not the email we
hoped to send you this week.
Donald Trump has won the 2024 presidential election, and with his second
presidency comes multiple threats to our nation’s already broken health
care system. His administration could:
* Make Medicare Advantage — a type of lower-quality health care plan
that is administered by private health insurers — the default
enrollment option, as outlined in Project 2025;
* Eliminate Medicaid for millions of people by making drastic spending
cuts and creating work requirements;
* End efforts to expand Medicare and Medicare’s authority to negotiate
lower prescription drug prices, preventing billions in potential
savings for seniors.^1
Union nurses are no strangers to impossible odds and hostile
circumstances; we overcome them at work every day. Though some of the
election results are not the outcome we wanted, we'll keep doing what
we've always done: fight for health care justice for ALL.
No matter who is in the White House, nurses will always stand firm in our
work to protect patients and ALL working people.
Nurses will keep speaking truth to power for our patients and fighting to
center care in society — not bigotry, fear, or hate – and we’re glad
you’re here with us. We are stronger when we stand together in unbreakable
solidarity. Across the U.S., we’ll continue to link arms for a society
that puts patients over profits and ultimately wins the right to
high-quality, guaranteed health care for everyone regardless of ability to
pay.
With you by our side, we’ll keep fighting for a just future for all. We’ll
be in touch with more reflections and opportunities to take action soon.
In solidarity,
Nurses’ Campaign to Win Medicare for All
