John,
Medicare provides healthcare to millions of seniors and disabled Americans.
But despite its decades of success, it has been under constant attack from special interests groups that are eager to toss this life-saving program on the chopping block.
Even now, as Congress negotiates its $3.5 trillion package, which can pass without Republican votes, these groups are trying to stop the biggest improvements to Medicare since it first became law over 50 years ago.
Just take a look at a few of the improvements they don’t want us to make to Medicare:
- Adding dental, hearing, and vision care
- Creating an out-of-pocket cap on expenses so that health care costs don’t bankrupt seniors
- Lowering Medicare’s eligibility age
- Giving Medicare the power to negotiate prices with pharmaceutical corporations, lowering costs for everyone in the process
With lobbyists and dark money groups trying to stop us from expanding Medicare, we must fight back.
Fight to protect and expand Medicare by adding your name to our petition now.
We must fight against the private health insurance companies that do not want to see Medicare expansion become a reality.
For years, while Republicans and corporate groups have ruthlessly attacked Americans’ health care, Democracy for America has continued to work side-by-side with health care champions like Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Pramila Jayapal to protect and expand healthcare coverage for all Americans.
Expanding and improving Medicare will go a long way in helping millions of older Americans receive the health care they need.
From reducing health care costs and prescription drug prices to helping the 70 percent of senior citizens that do not have dental insurance, we can make the most significant expansion of Medicare since it was signed into law a reality if we are willing to fight for it.
Healthcare is a basic human right and every person in America should have quality, affordable, and accessible care. Sign your name to demand that Congress expand Medicare now.
Thank you for fighting to expand Medicare.
