It's clear that our system of centering employer-sponsored health insurance is fundamentally broken.
We need Medicare for All — and for the first time in a while we have the power to get it done.
Research from the Kaiser Family Foundation found that over 27 million Americans lost their employer-sponsored health coverage during this pandemic. And, like Ro tweeted, this is on top of the millions of Americans who already didn’t have health care.
Especially as we near the anniversary of the initial peak of COVID-19, it has never been more important that the new administration prioritize the lifesaving health care options that a plan like Medicare for All would provide for free to all, no matter their income level, gender, age or pre existing conditions.
Together, we can build a system where someone’s ability to receive care isn’t tied to their employment.
