For months, newspapers and cable TV has been filled with attacks on
Medicare For All. Now we know why.

A front group funded by Big Insurance and Big Pharma -- The Partnership
for America's Health Care Future -- has spent more than $1 million on TV
ads attacking Medicare For All since August, especially in early
presidential primary states.

And, The Washington Post just exposed that "Lobbyists either helped draft
or made extensive revisions to opinion columns published by state
lawmakers in a way that warned against the dangers of Medicare-for-all..."

And, guess what else? Many false talking points that Big Insurance and Big
Pharma is supposed to have put in the mouths of lawmakers are the same
points Pete Buttigieg has been saying to scare and deceive voters on the
campaign trail.

The fight with Big Insurance and Big Pharma is on. To win it, we need to
let politicians -- especially Democrats -- know that voters will hold them
accountable for siding with Big Insurance and Big Pharma lobbyists over
their own constituents!

-- must stop repeating Big Insurance and Big Pharma talking points
designed to scare and deceive the public."

Medicare For All is hugely popular with voters because it will lower
costs, reduce bankruptcies, expand choice of doctors, lower prescription
prices, and cover things like long-term care, dental, and vision.

And, as The Washington Post has pointed out: "The health-care industry has
taken notice. Lobbyists are trying to bend public opinion away from an
idea that has seized much of the debate during the current Democratic
presidential primary...But the ideas are also very popular among many
Americans..."

We're telling media about this petition and will send updates as it
grows. Democrats should make the case for Medicare For All, not repeat
false talking points spoon fed to them by lobbyists from Big Insurance and
Big Pharma.

Our friend Wendell Potter, a former health insurance executive who now
leads Business for Medicare For All, told the Post: "These secret emails
blow open what I saw firsthand and revealed as a health insurance
whistleblower: These companies and their lobbyists will stoop to whatever
it takes, no matter how grotesque, to deny people the lifesaving coverage
they need. This is just the latest reason we need to reform this broken
system where greedy corporations determine who can get medical treatment
in America.”

The Washington Post credits one of our main partners -- Medicare For All
Now -- for exposing these dirty tricks. "The group obtained the documents
through Freedom of Information Act requests." Smart! ([ [link removed] ]Support their

Together we must show that Medicare for All is popular and will bring down
costs for families. Thanks for being a bold progressive.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told PCCC members, "The majority of Americans are with us on the policies. Americans support Medicare for All, expanding Social Security benefits, gun reform, debt-free college, and a $15 minimum wage. Bold progressive values are popular EVERYWHERE. Together, we have the people. Together, with your help, we’ll have the votes." Chip in $3 here: [link removed]
