A stunning new report ranks the U.S. dead last in health care among the
wealthiest countries, despite spending the most.^1

The report, which surveyed tens of thousands of patients and doctors
across 11 different countries, considered five different performance
categories: access to care, the care process, administrative efficiency,
equity, and health care outcomes.

And while we spend more than any of the other countries on health care —
up to 17 percent of our GDP — we ranked last in four out of five
categories.

This report
underscores what we already know: our current for-profit health care
system is deeply broken, and we need Medicare for All — a single-payer
health care system that guarantees high quality health care to everyone.

We’re coming up on some big events this fall that could change the game
for our work to win Medicare for All, and to kick it all off, we’re
convening a National Strategy Call on August 26th.

According to the report, 50 percent of lower-income U.S. adults said costs
prevented them from receiving the care they needed. In comparison, just 12
percent of lower-income residents in the U.K. said the same. The report
also shared that the U.S. had the highest infant mortality rate and lowest
life expectancy at age 60 compared to other countries. 

We do
not have to live with our broken health care system. And together, we have
the power to make real, transformative change that saves lives.

With strong organizing, we can secure more cosponsors on HR 1976 and get
one step closer to passing Medicare for All. But to make our efforts as
powerful as they can be, we need all hands on deck.

5pm PT/8pm ET? Together, we will plan and craft a strategy to make
Medicare for All a reality, and we want to have you on board.

We’re
looking forward to seeing you on the call!
