John,
In a recent congressional hearing, Katie questioned experts about the practices of private insurance companies. Their answers showed exactly why a Medicare for All healthcare system would save all of us money and lead to better health outcomes.
Private insurance spends 17 times more on administrative costs than Medicare. Whereas Medicare spends just about $1 out of every $100 they receive on admin costs, insurance companies are spending billions on TV ads, stock buybacks, fancy marketing, and executive compensation that reaches into the *tens of millions* per person.
Our healthcare system should prioritize patients, not profits. If you agree, sign Katie’s petition to show your support for Medicare for All.

Medicare for All would allow doctors to spend more time with patients and less time with paperwork. Right now, just a quarter of a doctor’s workday is spent with patients.
And with the billions we would save though a Medicare for All system, we could finally invest in expanding Medicare to cover things like hearing aids and eyeglasses. With 99% of non-pediatric doctors participating in Medicare, patients would have more choice, not less.
Medicare for All saves everyone money and delivers better healthcare. For years, politicians and Big Insurance companies have stood in the way of reform, but Katie is continuing to fight for a system that truly serves patients.
