It is now commonplace for Republican politicians to spread misinformation about elections, COVID, the rule of law, and so much more. Just yesterday, one GOP Congressman tweeted something very misleading (and ridiculous) about Medicare for All.
We know, from the science, that older folks are more susceptible to Covid-19. It has nothing to do with Medicare or Medicare for All. This tweet is just ridiculous (we had to say it again).
The fact is, before AND during the pandemic, Medicare for All in the United States would have SAVED lives. When there’s more public funding for health care and people don’t have to put their health at risk because they’re worried about paying health care bills, people get the treatment they need, people are healthier, and lives are saved.
This is why Pramila continues our collective fight for Medicare for All, single-payer universal guaranteed health care in America.
Pramila has 121 co-sponsors on the Medicare for All Act of 2021, the most House co-sponsors ever for M4A. More and more candidates are supporting and running on Medicare for All, and more Democrats in the House are stepping up to co-sponsor single-payer health care.
During the pandemic, we heard stories of people getting stuck with bills for Covid tests even though they were supposed to be free. This will always happen in a system driven by profit and greed. There will always be loopholes and corporations taking advantage of people. In an average year, Medicare for All would save tens of thousands of lives, by guaranteeing people can get the care they need with no cost at the point of service.
Our fight for Medicare for All will continue, and each year we build momentum. We have more than half of the House Democratic Caucus on board for M4A. We need to keep our fight strong and our momentum going.
In solidarity,
Team Jayapal
