This is a gamechanger.
A new report from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office just
confirmed publicly what we’ve known all along:
Replacing our current health care system with Medicare for All would save
our country billions of dollars per year while providing life-saving care
to everyone as a right.^1
They studied five different iterations of single-payer health care, and in
each scenario, the savings ranged from $42 and $743 billion per year.
Medicare for All legislation will be reintroduced in Congress, and we must
get as many co-sponsors on the bill as possible. Your representative needs
to hear from you now so we can put as much pressure on Congress as
possible.

on as a co-sponsor of Medicare for All in early 2021?

Not only did the study find that Medicare for All would massively reduce
overall health care spending in the country, it emphasized that more
people would also get the primary care they need.
Under Medicare for All, everyone could regularly see a doctor, leading to
less chronic illness and more preventative care, which would save lives
and money in the long run.
The study also found that because employers would no longer have to
include health care as part of total compensation, wages for workers would
likely increase. In addition, workers would not have to make decisions
about whether to stay at a particular job in order to maintain health care
coverage.
Overall, this report confirms what we’ve known for some time: We can
provide high-quality health care to every person in this country while
spending less money on health care overall.
The barrier to Medicare for All is not cost – it is a matter of political
will and the choice of our politicians to protect the profits of private
corporations over human lives.

stop spending more money for less care and pass Medicare for All.
Thank you for taking the time.
