Right now, a number of proposals to expand and improve Medicare are in negotiations to be included in the American Families Plan — policies that may impact you and your loved ones for the better.
One of these proposals is to finally allow Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices. This big shift would save the federal government between $300 billion and $478 billion dollars a year, which could be invested in two critical ways:
While we continue to fight for Medicare for All, implementing these changes would have an immediate life-changing impact for millions of people – and you have a unique role in this fight.
Your member of Congress will be a determining factor in whether these important improvements to Medicare make it into the bill. That’s why we’re collecting stories from their constituents – that’s you – as the first step in our plan to pressure these key members. If your life or the life of a loved one would be improved by Medicare expansion, we want to hear your story.
While these policies aren’t a replacement for Medicare for All, they would bar pharmaceutical companies from price gouging patients’ medications and profiting off their suffering. And on top of that, they would vitally broaden who can receive care under Medicare, while also expanding the kinds of essential care people can receive.
If you’re over 60 years old and unable to get health care or retire because you’re ineligible for Medicare – we want to hear from you. Or if you’re unable to get the dental or vision coverage you need, or you’ve experienced prescription drug prices you simply can’t afford, we want to make sure your story is heard by your representatives.
If any of this sounds like you or someone you love, then please consider sharing your story with us today. Every voice we add to this urgent conversation helps to amplify our call for these life-changing policies to be included in the American Families Plan.
So please, will you share with us how Medicare expansion would impact you or your family?
Together, our voices have the power to affect real change — and we’re grateful to have yours in this conversation.
In solidarity,
