John,
Americans are sick and tired of leaders who refuse to fight for them.
Sick and tired of being told to wait, to settle, and to accept a cruel,
for-profit healthcare system that puts corporate profits ahead of their
lives.
Sick and tired of watching politicians take Big Pharma’s money, protect
the status quo, and then throw up their hands and claim there’s nothing
they can do.
I hear it everywhere I go.
The demand is clear: bold, unapologetic leadership that will fight to make
our lives more affordable.
And at the top of that list, every single time? Healthcare.
John, I’ve spent
my career fighting to make healthcare a right — not a privilege reserved
for those who can afford it.
Nearly a decade ago, I introduced the Medicare for All Act because I knew
we could build a healthcare system that puts people, not profits, first.
I’ve proudly reintroduced it in every session since.
And I’m not backing down now.
After everything I’ve seen this summer — the grassroots organizing, the
growing progressive movement, and the strong, inspiring candidates proudly
running on Medicare for All — I know this fight is stronger than ever.
We have the people. We have the movement. And we have what it takes to win
Medicare for All. Now we need to keep organizing, keep fighting, and make
sure every working family in America can finally get the healthcare they
deserve.

Here’s what I know in my bones: we do not suffer from scarcity in this
country. We suffer from greed.
The greed of predatory insurance corporations that rake in billions while
denying care.
The greed of Big Pharma gouging drug prices and leaving working people
with impossible choices, between filling prescriptions and buying
groceries.
The greed of a callous for-profit healthcare system that lets corporate
interests determine who lives and who dies.
And too many working families know exactly what the devastating
consequences of that greed looks like.
85 million Americans are uninsured or underinsured. 1 in 4 can’t afford
their prescription drugs. Over 500,000 families go bankrupt every single
year because of medical debt. And more than 60,000 people die every year
because they cannot afford to see a doctor.
A new Yale study just confirmed what we’ve been saying for years: Medicare
for All would save over 114,000 lives per year and more than $1 trillion
in national health spending.
Where do those savings come from?
* Paying no more than other countries for prescription drugs.
* Cutting the bureaucracy and waste built into a system designed around
insurance company profits, not patient care.
* Curbing fraudulent billing.
* Preventing the emergency room visits that happen when people can't
afford to see a doctor before it's too late.
* Covered preventative care that will keep you out of the ER.
These are the facts that Republicans and their corporate donors don’t want
you to hear, because it threatens their grip on power and their profits.
They can’t win on the facts, so they’re spending billions to keep us
divided, confused, and convinced that change is impossible.
That is a moral catastrophe. And it is completely, utterly preventable.
But change is not impossible,
John. Change is inevitable
when we organize for it. We just have to continue fighting and as my
friend Abdul El-Sayed always says, we have to build the political will to
get it done.
And that’s exactly what I’ve done. I’ve been on the ground all summer
knocking on doors, organizing volunteers, and rallying voters alongside
the incredible Medicare For All candidates who won’t back down until
healthcare is guaranteed for every single person in this country.
But I need you with me on this. We win by standing shoulder to shoulder,
and right now, this fight is too big, too important to sit out.

today, to help us make Medicare for All a reality and ensure that no one
in this country ever has to choose between their prescription and food on
their table again?
