This is huge (or ‘yuge’ like our friend Bernie Sanders would say)!

[2]@elwasson BREAKING: Senate Democrats agree on $3.5 trillion budget
reconciliation bill including Medicare expansion

Pramila and Bernie have been fighting for Medicare for All for years — and
that fight will continue. But they have also been leading the charge to
expand Medicare as part of the American Families Plan. And just now,
President Biden and Senate Democrats have agreed to pass a historic public
health care expansion that will get more people covered AND get more
people on Medicare the health care they need.



[ [link removed] ]This isn’t over, and we need to keep up the momentum to make it the
law of the land. Can you chip in to fuel our fight for Medicare expansion
today, and for Medicare for All in the days ahead?

We know a full 70% of Democrats in the House, including folks in tough
re-election fights, support expanding Medicare, improving benefits, and
lowering prescription drug costs because it’s good policy — but also
because we want to show people across America that we’ve delivered for
them.

Now, thanks to our organizing, we know that the Senate Democratic Caucus
is on board, too. Opening Medicare to millions of new folks gets people
care who didn’t have it before, improving benefits, and lowering
prescription costs can help people finally get the medicine they need to
survive.

Again, here’s what we are fighting to win in this next huge Democratic
bill:

* Lowering the Medicare eligibility age: This would immediately extend
coverage to 23 million people, including many who lost insurance
during the pandemic.
* Improving Medicare benefits to finally cover dental, vision, and
hearing care, and cap out-of-pocket costs: This will 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.

These are widely popular measures and President Biden promised to deliver
on them. Medicare for All is our end goal, and Pramila will never stop
leading the fight for it. But as we continue building our movement, we can
pass this transformative Medicare expansion plan right away.

Fewer people will struggle without care, fewer people will struggle to get
hearing aids and critical dental care, and fewer people will have to
ration their insulin or go without the medicine they need.

[ [link removed] ]Now is NOT the time to let up. Chip in $3 right now to
keep pushing for the transformational change we need. We must ensure
Medicare expansion becomes law and the fight for true universal
single-payer health care continues.

In solidarity,
