A new poll shows that half of U.S. adults have put off or skipped some sort of health care in the past year because of cost.1
Three in 10 adults also reported not taking their medicines as prescribed at some point in the past year because of the cost.
These are the results of a system that is organized around the profit imperative. It is entirely unjust — and without Medicare for All, costs will continue to rise and thousands of additional lives will be lost.
We’ve got big plans to keep growing our movement to pass Medicare for All in Congress, but we’re going to need your help. Will you join us for our Medicare for All National Strategy Call on Monday, February 28, to hear the latest in our fight to win single-payer health care for all?
Here are the details:

Nurses' Campaign to Win Medicare for All National Strategy Call |
Here’s the thing: corporate-friendly incrementalist approaches to reforming our health care system are incapable of solving the problem. Piecemeal expansions of insurance only bolster the power of insurance, pharmaceutical, and hospital corporations and will not ensure that those who need care can get it.
Only a mass movement has the ability to overcome an entrenched and moneyed industry that is hell-bent on maintaining the status quo. This is our task: to continue building our movement in our communities, in our hospitals, in the streets, conversation by conversation — until health care is a right for all people and not just a privilege for those who can afford it.
We know our organizing is working. It’s how we celebrated THREE new cosponsors just this month, bringing the total number of cosponsors in Congress up to 121 — a major milestone for our movement.
Hope to see you there,
Alex Newell Taylor
Organizer
