The holidays are here, and while they certainly look a lot different this year, one thing is for sure.
Whether on Zoom or with your immediate household, the dinner table is bound to get political – and Covid-19 is almost certain to be a topic of conversation. But I have good news: we built a tool to practice and learn how to talk to friends and relatives about Medicare for All through the lens of Covid-19.
The challenges of this year have made the case for Medicare for All stronger than ever before. We must take this opportunity to have conversations with our friends and family about how we can fight together for a health care system that truly guarantees health care to all.
During the early months of the pandemic, an estimated 27 million people lost their employer-sponsored health insurance and joined the 29 million who were already uninsured. At the same time, Covid-19's disproportionate impact on people of color has reignited conversations about racial disparities in our current profit-driven health care system.
We know that sharing stories and having one-on-one conversations can win people over. One tool we use to do this is called the Response Cycle, and we use it all the time in our campaign.
Now YOU can use the Response Cycle this holiday season and finally convince those aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends on your Zoom call that Medicare for All is the best and only fix for our broken health care system.
Together we can have the discussions necessary to mobilize the vast public support for Medicare for All into a movement too big and powerful for our leaders to ignore.
Wishing you luck and happy holidays from all of us to you and yours.
-Jasmine Ruddy and the whole M4A team
