2018 was a record year for the pharmaceutical and health insurance industries. They reaped BILLIONS in profits. Meanwhile:

• 87 million Americans were uninsured or underinsured.
• 40 million declined to visit the doctor because of exorbitant costs.
• 37 million couldn’t afford to fill a needed prescription.
• And 26% of diabetics in the U.S. were forced to ration insulin.

Unfortunately, the response from many U.S. politicians has been outrageous and cowardly. "We need a public option," they say. "You're being too radical."

This is not gonna cut it. Half-measures and platitudes won’t fix this crisis. Half-measures like the public option only increase the administrative complexity and bloat of our current system, making it substantially more costly than it already is.

The only real solution to our current health care crisis and the exorbitant cost of health care in this country is Medicare for All. We owe each other — and the millions of Americans suffering under the current health care system — to fight as hard as we can toward winning Medicare for All.

That’s why today I’m asking you to make a simple pledge: to support candidates running for office who have the courage and integrity to support Medicare for All. Add your name today if you’re with us.

This is about more than just sending a message. It’s about demonstrating what we already know to be true — that Medicare for All isn’t just some radical, fringe idea. It’s about proving that bold, visionary ideas are what inspire us to get active in the political process. It’s about proving that when elected officials listen to and acknowledge the needs of the people, we make sure they are supported.

While some may hide behind right wing talking points, we’ll keep working to make sure that everyone in this country has the health care they need — no more insulin-rationing, GoFundMe campaigns, or choosing between medicine and groceries.

Are you with us? Sign your name today, and let’s all join together to demand that aspiring-elected officials take this crisis seriously.

Health care is a human right. And we deserve a system that puts working families ahead of the interests of pharmaceutical CEOs.

It won’t be an easy battle: we’re up against mountains of cash, Big Pharma lobbyists, and propaganda that aims to maintain a broken status quo. But I know we can achieve great things when we all work in unison.

In solidarity,
