[1]NNU - Medicare for All!



While the 2024 presidential election results were not what we hoped for,
we do have a multitude of congressional victories to celebrate!

Nearly all of our Medicare for All cosponsors that ran for re-election
this November won, in states from Kentucky to Georgia to Arizona. At least
93 House incumbents — with some races still pending — and 7 Senate
incumbents who support Medicare for All were re-elected.

We know that Medicare for All remains a popular policy among the majority
of voters — about 70 percent of all registered voters, 88 percent of
Democratic voters, and nearly half of Republican voters^1 — too many of
whom cannot afford health care and understand firsthand that our system is
in desperate need of serious reform.

Medicare for All, which would establish a single-payer, national health
care system that guarantees care for all regardless of ability to pay, is
the best policy solution to our health care crisis. Every academic study
for a single-payer system has found that under Medicare for All, everyone
is covered, quality is improved, lives are saved, and money is saved.

With Medicare for All, the U.S. would save as much as $600 billion per
year, and all premiums, copays, deductibles, and other out-of-pocket costs
for patients would be eliminated.^2 It would also improve health outcomes
and reduce inequities, making sure every person in the U.S. receives a
single standard of quality care.

No matter what, our Medicare for All champions plan on reintroducing the
bill in Congress next year, giving us the opportunity to continue building
support for this critical legislation, and we hope you’ll take action with
us when the time comes.

In solidarity,

Nurses’ Campaign to Win Medicare for All
