We have a $3.5 trillion budget bill – known as the Build Back Better Act – which would not only expand Medicare and lower drug prices, but also deliver universal pre-k for 3 & 4 year-olds, paid family and medical leave, and much more.
As a union representing primarily working women, we know that these are measures that would be particularly life changing for tens of millions of women workers and their families.
President Biden, Congressional leadership, the progressive caucus, and nurses across the country are all aligned in the urgent need to pass this bill and deliver on the priorities that voters elected Democrats to fight for — not the bare minimum.
But just two conservative Democratic senators are trying to water down the bill at the eleventh hour and strip out major priorities – including Medicare expansion and improvements.
We know what passing this bill would mean for women, working families, and our communities. It is imperative that we invest in health care and not leave anyone behind in this bill.
If you’re not on Twitter, that’s okay. You can call their offices and share your thoughts directly.
By improving and expanding Medicare, we can immediately improve the lives of millions – finally giving our seniors dental, vision, and hearing care and lowering the cost of prescription drugs. We can also finally begin to rein in private health care corporations that profit off our illness and suffering.
And these Medicare improvements are just one example of many transformational policies in the Build Back Better Act.
Thank you for speaking out. We’ll keep you informed about other ways you can support in this critical moment.
In solidarity,
Nurses’ Campaign to Win Medicare for All
