John,
Eight Senate Democrats broke ranks and joined the GOP to end the government shutdown, and in doing so, they guaranteed higher healthcare premiums for millions of working people. There’s no way around it: Those eight Senate Democrats sold out millions of Americans. Many of them are the very constituents they swore to protect.
This is what happens when Democrats bargain with extremists instead of standing with the people.
It should never have even had to come to this. Healthcare should never be a bargaining chip in the first place. It should be guaranteed for all Americans.
Instead of fighting for Medicare for All, Senate Democrats caved to protect a broken system: one that delays care, drives up costs, and keeps corporate insurers in charge.
Establishment Democrats will say “now isn’t the time.” That we need to “wait our turn.” But tell that to the family rationing insulin, or the single mom who can’t afford a specialist visit. Tell that to the people losing loved ones because Congress is more afraid of upsetting the health insurance lobbyists than it is of failing the American people. Tell that to families like mine who were struggling to survive, where one health emergency would’ve shattered our fragile equilibrium.
John, we need a new generation of leaders who won’t trade our health for political convenience. Leaders who will fight for Medicare for All — no premiums, no copays, no loopholes. It’s long overdue.
That’s why I’m running. Because I refuse to let billionaires, lobbyists, and party bosses decide who gets to see a doctor.
If you believe every person deserves guaranteed healthcare, I need you with me today.
Chip in $5 to help us build a Congress that puts people before profit.
In solidarity,
Angela Gonzales-Torres
