Our team has been discussing the latest legislative fight around expanding
and improving Medicare, and Pramila wanted to hear what you thought about
it.

Bernie and Pramila are leading Democrats (moderates and progressives
alike) in an effort to lower the Medicare eligibility age, expand Medicare
to cover dental, vision, and hearing care, and empower Medicare to
negotiate lower prescription drug costs for everyone. This is a big deal,
and we’re working hard to get it included in President Biden’s American
Families Plan. As our fight for Medicare for All continues, we have a
chance to take a giant step towards single payer health care right now by
expanding Medicare.

family; she also wants to know how important these transformative changes
are to you. Can you take 2 minutes to fill out this quick survey about
expanding Medicare?

Take the quick survey

In case you haven’t seen our recent emails, we want you to know exactly
what policies we’re talking about. Here’s what we want in the American
Families Plan:

* Lowering the Medicare eligibility age to 55: This would immediately
extend coverage to 40 million people, including many who lost
insurance during the pandemic.
* Improving Medicare benefits to cover dental, vision, and hearing care,
and cap out-of-pocket costs: This will finally give folks on Medicare
much needed coverage to see the dentist, get hearing aids, and afford
a new pair of glasses.
* Empower Medicare to negotiate drug prices for everyone: The U.S.
spends far more than any other country on prescription drugs, despite
Medicare Part D being the largest purchaser. We need the government to
use its power to negotiate drug prices down for everyone.

We all know that the current for-profit health care system in America is
broken. So broken that it costs lives not to have single payer. It’s time
we took a big step towards Medicare for All by implementing these
transformative health care reforms.

[ [link removed] ]It would mean a lot to our team if you took just a couple of minutes to
provide your thoughts on Medicare expansion. The next few weeks are going
to be critical in this fight, and we value your opinion.

Thank you so much for letting us know what you think,

Team Jayapal
