Something happened a few weeks ago at midnight on January 1st that isn't
being talked about enough: the max out of pocket costs and deductibles for
tens of millions of health care plans reset.
This means that if you visited a hospital on December 31st and received
treatment the next day, you were forced to pay not one but two deductibles
and two max out of pockets.
It even affects expectant mothers. All over the country, pregnant women
are even trying to induce labor before the end of the year, since they
can’t afford being charged twice.^1
In the richest country on Earth, nobody should be forced to induce labor
or meticulously plan their pregnancy around the day their deductibles
reset. But under our current greedy, broken health care system, that’s
exactly what happens.
It doesn’t have to be this way. Medicare for All would ensure that care is
free at the point of service for everyone. No ifs, ands, or buts.
Bernie Sanders shares that vision. It’s why we endorsed him for president.
And it’s why so many of us are fighting everyday — not only to elect him,
but to win Medicare for All.

We don’t need to accept a punitive health care system like the one we
have. We don’t need to settle for this reckless, corporate greed.
Together, we can — and will — continue to build a nationwide movement to
win Medicare for All. Not just in the White House, but in the halls of
Congress and in communities all across the country too.
In solidarity,
Nurses' Campaign to Win Medicare for All
