John,
A new report from the Commonwealth Fund ranks the United States healthcare system in last place among the wealthiest nations in the world despite spending the most.
An incredible 17 percent of America’s GDP goes to our healthcare system, yet families are paying more for worse health care than other wealthy nations.
To those of us paying attention, this report isn’t surprising. Our system is built for corporate profits, and not for working folks. This is what happens when you put profits over patients.
We must finally take common sense steps to build a single-payer healthcare system.
Everyone deserves access to quality healthcare. Hard-working families should not have to worry if they can pay for a doctor’s visit or fill a prescription they need.
I’ve had to skip going to the doctor and taking my prescriptions because I couldn’t afford it. I understand how broken our healthcare system is and how it’s affecting our families.
One of the fundamental reasons I’m running for Congress is to fight for single-payer healthcare. Will you chip in $500, $250, $100, $50, $25 or any amount you can afford today to send me to Washington?
