John,
As Biden’s lead in the primary appears to be fading and Warren and Sanders continue to rise, Medicare for All is coming under greater attack from the corporate interests trying to protect insurance company profits.
I know that some Democrats, even including some DFA members, are worried about how to respond to legitimate questions and ridiculous attacks -- and how to tell the difference.
The good news is that since the day they were elected, DFA-endorsed candidates Ayanna Pressley and Ilhan Omar have fearlessly pushed Congress to enact Medicare for All and now they’ve agreed to join Medicare for All advocates at a virtual town hall to help you get all the best answers and talking points to refute misperceptions, lies, and attacks.
They’re not just fighting to build support in Congress, they’re working with DFA to build the ground game we need nationwide to win.
That’s where you and I come in.
Join our Medicare for All virtual town hall with Ayanna and Ilhan on Monday, Oct. 28, at 5PM PT/ 8PM ET. We’ll discuss how to translate the growing momentum for Medicare for All into congressional action.
RSVP now to get the details on how to connect >>
Even if you’re not sure you’ll be available, RSVP and we’ll send you a recording of this powerful event >>
It’s no secret that our for-profit, broken health insurance system is failing the 30 million Americans living without insurance and the 40 million who have insurance but can’t afford the care they need because of sky-high co-pays and deductibles.
Nearly all of us live in fear that we are just one health care crisis away from financial ruin for our family. In the richest country in the history of the world, we shouldn’t have to live this way.
A majority of Americans are with us, in fact -- even the majority of Republicans -- so join DFA and the Medicare for All coalition as we launch a Week of Action focused on building our movement by winning city and county council resolutions that send a message to Congress that support for Medicare for All is strong and growing nationwide.
Be a part of this momentous week by joining the Virtual Town Hall >>
Now more than ever -- as Medicare for All continues to make headlines in the health care debate and our corporate opponents amass their war chest to undermine our momentum -- we need you to be a part of this campaign.
Thank you for building the movement to win,
-Yvette
