A new Gallup poll found that more people in the U.S. than ever are putting off medical care due to cost. 

38% of respondents said they have put off medical care for financial reasons – a 12-point increase from the past two years. 27% of respondents said the delayed treatment was for a condition that was considered to be “very” or “somewhat” serious.¹ 

It’s no surprise that American life expectancy is now at its lowest in nearly two decades.² We cannot continue on this path.

Health care is a human right that must be guaranteed to all, and we’re continuing our fight to advance the movement for Medicare for All this year.

Can you join us Tuesday, January 31, at 5:00pm PT/8:00pm ET to learn more about our upcoming plans and how you can help us build support for Medicare for All?

We made significant progress last year with the first-ever hearing on Medicare for All in the U.S. Senate, a dozen candidates who ran on Medicare for All and won their elections, 70 candidates and elected officials who took the Patients Over Profits Pledge, and more. 

Now, it’s on us to build on our organizing efforts — especially in advance of the reintroduction of the House and Senate bills this year.

If you’re ready to help us gain new cosponsors, move the national single-payer movement forward, and stand up to corporate influence in our politics, RSVP for the organizing call on January 31.
