Bernie Sanders and Pramila Jayapal are fighting to guarantee health care as a human right through Medicare for All, and recently introduced legislation to immediately expand Medicare and Medicaid eligibility to all who need it during the COVID-19 crisis.
Unfortunately, Nancy Pelosi and Democratic leadership are instead supporting legislation approved by the health insurance industry.
Pelosi’s proposal would only expand COBRA subsidies for workers who recently lost their employer-sponsored health care.
Not only is COBRA significantly more expensive, but it also covers only a small percentage of people suffering without health insurance in the middle of this devastating pandemic.
Pelosi’s proposal is expensive and ineffective, but because it’s supported by corporate special interests, she’s pushing forward anyway. Rush a donation now to help us call out Nancy Pelosi for letting Americans suffer without health care during a global pandemic just because big donors don’t like Medicare for All.
If you’ve stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will process immediately.
No American should suffer without coverage because Nancy Pelosi wants to protect the profit margin of Democrats’ health care industry donors.
That’s why it’s so important for us to demand that health care should be a human right. If some of us can’t get access to health care, all of us are in danger.
Donate here to help Our Revolution put pressure on Nancy Pelosi and Democratic leadership to acknowledge the humanity of our neighbors and guarantee health care for all during this pandemic — and beyond!
In solidarity,
The whole team at Our Revolution
