The numbers are staggering.

Since COVID-19 shocked the economy, an estimated 27 million people have
lost their employer-provided health insurance. And this number will only
increase. 

This crisis has exposed the fundamental flaws in our health care system:
At the exact moment when people need health care the most, millions are
losing their health insurance during a global pandemic because of our
employer-based health care system. It’s immoral, and it’s time for radical
change. We need Medicare for All. 

How would COVID-19 be different under Medicare for All? What can we do in
this key moment to organize for a better future?

At the same time that the nation is erupting in thousands of protests
against the continued injustice of police brutality, we know that racism
itself is a public health crisis. We’ve seen the rampant racial
disparities of this virus, due in no small part to who gets and doesn’t
get health care in this country. While Medicare for All is by no means a
panacea for the public health crisis of racism, it would ensure that
underserved communities can get the testing and treatment they need.

This is a crisis, but it is also a chance to finally awaken our
politicians and move beyond employer-based insurance to Medicare for All.
History shows that big societal changes often happen in a crisis and, if
we band together, we can build a better future.

We need to use this moment to fight for protections for working people,
their families and their communities. We need Medicare for All. [ [link removed] ]Get up
to speed on the fight for single-payer health care in Congress and learn
what you can do to help from two Medicare for All champions in Congress.

Hope to see you there,
