Did you see AOC’s tweet? Medicare for All supporters won big on Election Day – now we need to continue this momentum.
We saw a clear trend in this election.
Every single House Democrat who endorsed Medicare for All and was on the November 3rd ballot won their reelection, including those in red districts. That’s because our movement for quality, guaranteed health care for all is stronger than ever.
Some conservative Democrats have tried to claim that Medicare for All is a political liability. But the fact that Medicare for All supporters in swing districts were unanimously reelected says differently.
No matter what pundits or corporate front groups say, these results show that Medicare for All is a winning proposal.
Together, we need to take stock of the new political environment and get to work building a movement that can win. But, to do that we need you on board with our latest plans.
This year we’ve been up against corrupt private insurance giants who are making record-setting profits and corporate-backed politicians in Washington who have sold their vote to the corporate health care industry. But despite all that, support for Medicare for All remains resilient.
In order to turn our momentum into progress, we must capture this excitement and use it to strengthen our fight. Joining our national call and learning more about how you can take action is one of the best ways you can do that.
In solidarity,
