Yesterday, we hosted our Medicare for All National Strategy Call, where we
were joined by longtime Medicare for All champion, Senator Bernie Sanders.

Senator Sanders shared valuable insight about the current fight to improve
and expand Medicare, as well as how it fits into our larger fight for
Medicare for all.

In case you missed the call, here’s some of what he said:

“I don’t have to tell you, because you all know it better than I do: our
current health care system is dysfunctional beyond belief.

“I believe, as you do, that at the end of the day, what we need is a
Medicare for All, single-payer program. That is the most cost effective,
just way of providing health care to all of our people.

“I hope that what we will be able to do right now… is expand and improve
Medicare.

“If we can pull this off, it might be the most transformational piece of
legislation since the great depression. It will significantly improve life
for working families.”

Call

We know that winning the expansion and improvement of Medicare in the
short term will be life changing for millions of people. And because of
our organizing, we’re on the right track to win the largest expansion of
Medicare since it was created.

But our
eyes are still on the prize. On the call, we laid out our strategy and
organizing plans for this fall — and to kick things off, we are preparing
to identify thousands of new local Medicare for All supporters and
mobilize them to take action.

you with us. Will you sign up for a Medicare for All Text Bank Party now?

[ [link removed] ]RSVP »

At these virtual parties, you’ll be joined by supporters from around the
country as we text voters in four of the highest priority congressional
districts. This work is critical to securing more cosponsors on HR 1976
and getting one step closer to passing Medicare for All.

No prior experience is necessary, and training will be provided at the
beginning of the call. You don’t need to use your own phone to send texts
— all you need is a computer or tablet.

you’re ready to move the needle forward on Medicare for All, please sign
up here to join one of our virtual text bank parties.

Thank you so much for stepping up — we’re excited to get to work!
