Bernie Sanders is introducing a Medicare for All bill in the Senate tomorrow.

You’re probably familiar with at least some of the shameful realities of health care in America:

We spend far more than other rich countries but we have far more preventable deaths.

Fully half of Americans say they have put off medical care within the past year due to cost.

Almost a third of Americans report rationing medicines because of Big Pharma price gouging.

There are huge racial disparities in health care. Just one grim example: Black women are three times more likely than white women to die from pregnancy.

Medical costs are a factor in two out three personal bankruptcies.

And on and on and on.

Medicare for All would start with the most popular and efficient part of America’s health care system — Medicare — then make it even better by eliminating out-of-pocket costs, expanding available services, and covering everyone in the country.

Your health care decisions would be up to you and your doctor — not some for-profit insurance company that is only thinking about its bottom line.

You would never have to fear another medical bill or medical bankruptcy.

And having decent coverage would not depend on who you work for or what kind of work you do.

It is shameful and absurd that we don’t ALREADY have Medicare for All.

Tell the Senate:

The United States is virtually the only rich country on Earth whose people are subject to the whims and greed of a private, for-profit, corporate health care regime. Stand up for the American people by passing Senator Bernie Sanders’ Medicare for All bill without delay.

Add your name now.

Thank you for taking action.

For progress,
