Bernie and Pramila published an op-ed in The Washington Post today that makes the urgent case for expanding Medicare and improving its benefits.
Bernie and Pramila understand how critical this fight is — a necessary push to lower the Medicare eligibility age, expand Medicare to cover dental, hearing, and vision care, and empower Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices. They also know how important this step is in achieving Medicare for All.
President Biden campaigned on lowering the Medicare eligibility age and lowering prescription drug prices. These policies are also overwhelmingly popular with voters. And they’re incredibly urgent: 40 million people could be added to Medicare. People could finally get critical dental care. Prescription costs for families could plummet.
It’s clear that expanding Medicare belongs in President Biden’s American Families Plan. Bernie and Pramila know that we need to fight for this in Congress, in the media, in our communities, and everywhere else.
We all know that the current for-profit health care system in America is broken. So broken that it costs lives not to guarantee health care as a human right. It’s time that we took a big step towards Medicare for All by implementing these transformative health care reforms.
In solidarity,
Team Jayapal
