If you’ve ever had a conversation about Medicare for All, chances are, you’ve encountered one of these questions:
There are various reasons people have so many questions: our current healthcare system is complicated (by design) and many people have been inundated with disinformation about Medicare for All that’s paid for by corporate front groups.
That’s why we’ve put together an FAQ page that has answers to common questions about Medicare for All to help you talk to your friends, family, and elected officials about what it would really look like.
We’ve made some big inroads in the last few months. Since the Medicare for All Act of 2021 (H.R. 1976) was introduced, we’ve secured three new cosponsors in Congress and expect a few more announcements soon.
In total, there are now 116 cosponsors on the bill, and we have active campaigns in 27 of our 38 priority districts where local volunteers and activists are working around the clock to pressure their member of Congress to either sign onto Medicare for All or reject corporate healthcare donations.
We know that on-the-ground organizing in our communities is what it will take to win, and we can’t wait to return to in person actions and events later this year when it’s safe to do so again.
For now, we can continue to grow this movement and educate voters about Medicare for All. You can help to do that by reading and sharing our FAQ page here to make sure you’re ready to talk to friends and family and combat disinformation.
Thanks for being in this fight,
