25% of people in the U.S.have delayed medical treatment for themselves or a family member for a serious illness due to the costs of care.1
Despite millions of people in this country delaying medical treatment due to the costs, the U.S. still spends the most on health care of any developed nation in the world, while covering fewer people and achieving worse overall health outcomes.2
We need Medicare for All now – and we have a huge opportunity coming up to move the needle forward. Senator Bernie Sanders is preparing to reintroduce Medicare for All legislation in the Senate.
These bill introductions can be valuable rallying points, where we reach wider audiences and pull new people into our movement. We’re asking you to step up in this key moment – and the best way to get plugged in to what’s happening and our organizing plan is to join our virtual Medicare for All Fest on Saturday, April 23rd.
Will you sign up now to join us for this virtual barnstorm ahead of the Senate bill reintroduction? This will be an opportunity to hear about the progress of our Senate pressure campaign, receive hands-on training, and get all the info you need to step up and get involved in this crucial period.
Note: We’re excited to announce that this event will feature live, Spanish language interpretation and a breakout room specifically for Spanish speakers!
Together, we will mobilize across the country to make sure as many senators as possible are signed on to this bill before it’s reintroduced.
Stay tuned for featured speakers to be announced soon.
Hope to see you there,
Alex Newell Taylor
