John,
We have an opportunity to make public health care better right now. On our path to Medicare for All, we can get major health care reforms in President Biden’s American Families Plan — that would get coverage and care to millions right now.
Justice Democrats, alongside 100 Democrats in the U.S. House and Senate, are calling on President Biden to follow through on his campaign promises to (1) lower the Medicare eligibility age, (2) expand Medicare to cover dental, vision, and hearing care, and (3) empower Medicare to negotiate lower prescription drug prices for everyone.
We can win these historic expansions of public health care coverage if we fight for them. That’s why we’re pushing for these transformative changes alongside Justice Democrats in Congress like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Cori Bush, and Pramila Jayapal.
Sign on to support including Medicare expansion in the American Families Plan immediately. This historic expansion of public coverage is integral in the fight for Medicare for All.

As millions have lost health insurance during the pandemic, we need to do everything we can to get more people health care. Right now, that means pressuring President Biden to follow through on his campaign promises.
Lowering the Medicare eligibility age to 55 could get 40 million people good, low-cost coverage. Expanding Medicare to include vision, dental, and hearing coverage can get folks much-needed care that they’ve had to forego under current Medicare limitations — the out-of-pocket cost was just too much. Nearly two-thirds of people with Medicare don’t have dental coverage, and are suffering without needed dental care.
And allowing Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices for everyone in the U.S. would immediately reduce costs. People in this country pay way more for prescription drugs than any other country in the world. Medicare negotiating lower prices would change that.
A lot can be done right now as we move forward in our fight for no-cost care for every single person in the country under Medicare for All. Medicare expansion gets us so much closer to that reality.
Let’s make sure this historic expansion of Medicare makes it into the American Families Plan. Sign on now to get desperately needed care to millions of people in this country.
