John -- Today, on International Universal Health Coverage Day, we want to take a moment to recognize just how far the movement has come since we launched BNC five years ago.
Brand New Congress has been leading the fight for universal healthcare since our founding.
In 2017, we launched a pressure campaign that successfully doubled support for Medicare for All in the House. And since 2018 we’ve elected four representatives committed to passing universal healthcare.
We ONLY recruit candidates committed to passing single-payer, and we’re excited to see that public support for Medicare for All has grown to 70%!
But our work is far from over, John. Will you chip in today to help us fight until every American is covered? If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: The COVID19 pandemic has exposed every weakness in our for-profit healthcare system. A report by Public Citizen earlier this year found that at least one-third of all COVID-related deaths could be attributed to lack of access to healthcare.
To put that another way: Over 270,000 Americans would still be with us today if we had healthcare instead of wealthcare.
We won’t stop until there is healthcare for ALL, because healthcare is a human right. Period.
Thank you for supporting this vital work. Let’s keep building!
