For the past few months, we’ve all seen the devastating toll that the coronavirus pandemic has taken on our communities. Millions of people have lost their jobs and alongside that, they’ve seen their healthcare coverage disappear at the exact moment many of them need it the most. No American should lose their healthcare in the middle of a pandemic – or ever.

That is why I have partnered with Rep. Pramila Jayapal to introduce a bill that would enroll every American who lost their job during this pandemic in Medicare.

Our bill would expand Medicare and Medicaid eligibility, cap out-of-pocket costs for Medicare enrollees, and eliminate co-pays, coinsurance, or deductibles for COVID-19 testing and care.

Our law doesn’t only address the immediate needs posed by COVID-19, but also serves as an immediate step as we move closer to Medicare for All. Will you join Rep. Jayapal and me by adding your name to be a citizen co-sponsor of our bill? Together, we can expand access to healthcare for all.

35 million people will lose their health coverage in the coming months. We have to act now to ensure no family is denied the coverage and care they need. This first-step towards Medicare for All will allow people who lose their health coverage to get a public plan.

Can I count on you to join Rep. Jayapal and me by becoming a citizen co-sponsor for our bill?

Thank you for your support,

Joe
