[1]NNU - Medicare for All!



U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders and Reps. Pramila Jayapal and Debbie Dingell
are officially reintroducing Medicare for All legislation in just a few
weeks, on April 29th!

In preparation, we need to build as much support as we can for both the
House and Senate versions of this bill to provide guaranteed health care
to everyone across the country.

The more members of Congress who join as original cosponsors of this
legislation before the reintroduction, the more power we demonstrate as a
movement and the closer we’ll get to passing it into law.

co-sponsor the Medicare for All bills being reintroduced on April 29th?

It’s clear that across party lines, people are fed up with the status quo
of our deeply broken, for-profit health care system. Under our current
system, people from all walks of life face a difficult time affording and
getting the care they need from the providers they want.

For example, take a look at what’s happening in Texas: Blue Cross Blue
Shield just dropped a major hospital system from its network due to a
contract dispute, leaving patients in the lurch.

After negotiations between this private insurance company and a regional
health system with more than two dozen hospitals broke down, thousands of
insured people may no longer go to their care provider or hospital just
because middlemen are arguing over how much to pay each other.

Under Medicare for All, problems like this would be solved by replacing
private insurance companies with a single public plan that pays for all
medical costs. In fact, it’s this very complexity of our fragmented health
care system that is a primary driver of increasing costs. We currently
spend in excess of $500 billion per year in unnecessary bureaucratic
costs. Medicare for All will simplify our system by eliminating
fragmentation and ensuring more seamless, efficient, and streamlined
administration.

health care as a human right for all in this country, let your members of
Congress know and tell them to co-sponsor Medicare for All legislation →
