We're in the final stretch.
Congress may wrap up negotiations on the infrastructure package and budget
resolution by as soon as next week. That means we all need to redouble our
efforts to secure Medicare improvements and expansion in this legislation
right now.
The Senate has power to decide whether these life-saving measures are
included in the budget resolution, and it’s our job to put as much
pressure on them as possible to do the right thing.
Hundreds of you submitted personal stories earlier this week about how
these Medicare improvements and expansion would impact your lives – and
now we’re asking you to share some of those stories to help us put more
pressure on key senators before a vote.
[ [link removed] ]Will you watch and share our collection of personal story videos
highlighting the impact that expanding and improving Medicare would have
on the lives of so many across the country? A few of the key senators in
this process are tagged in the videos, so each “like” and “retweet” shows
how many people are watching and builds more pressure on them to act.

Today is especially significant because it’s the 56-year anniversary of
the day that Medicare was enacted into law.
For 56 years, this program has protected the health and well-being of
millions of families. Now we have a chance to substantially improve and
expand it.
Together we are calling on Congress to lower eligibility to 60, include
dental, hearing, and vision, set an out-of-pocket cap, and allow Medicare
to negotiate drug prices.
We must take this opportunity to immediately improve the lives of millions
of people and reduce the power of the corporate health care industry while
we simultaneously continue the fight for full Medicare for All.
