John, we got a list of House Democrats co-sponsoring Medicare for All. There are some really encouraging things in this list (more than half the Democratic caucus supports it!) but also some troubling things.

The top 3 Democrats in the House — Representatives Pelosi, Clyburn, and Hoyer — don’t support Medicare for All.

This is disappointing and, frankly, unacceptable. Medicare for All is the one bill in Congress to guarantee that everyone gets the health care they need without worrying about medical bills. It’s the humane, ethical, public solution to our broken, deadly, for-profit health system. So why doesn’t the entire Democratic caucus support M4A?

We’re partnering with organizations across the country to pressure Democrats to support quality health care for EVERYONE. Fuel our fight for a just, equal health care system for all people with a $3 contribution to our movement right now.

It’s really shocking, John. The for-profit health system in this country was already killing people before this pandemic — a Yale study estimated that a single-payer health care system like Medicare for All would save 68,000 lives a year. During the pandemic, a recent study by Public Citizen found that one-third of COVID-19 deaths in America were tied to a lack of health insurance.

No one should lose their ability to get care because they lose their job. No one should have to choose between crushing medical bills and going to the doctor or getting their insulin. And no one should die because they don’t have health insurance.

It’s troubling that top Democrats like Speaker Pelosi don’t support the one single-payer health care bill in Congress when it would save so many lives. So, we will keep fighting to get every Democrat to co-sponsor Medicare for All. Are you with us?

Donate now to support our movement to transform the Democratic Party and ensure critical, transformative legislation like Medicare for All becomes law. Every dollar you give funds our grassroots fight for change.

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
