John,
Our healthcare system is in crisis. To get a better idea of just how broken the system is, take a look at this:
“Guns seem to be easier and cheaper to access than treatment for the wounds they cause. A survivor of the recent mass shooting in Half Moon Bay, California reportedly said to Gov. Gavin Newsom that he needed to keep his hospital stay as short as possible in order to avoid a massive medical bill.” |
We know there's a better way forward. That's why polling from Gallup reaffirms what we've already known to be true for years now — a majority of Americans want the government to enact Medicare for All.
For far too long, Americans' ability to access quality, affordable healthcare has been determined by the whims of a faulty patchwork of employer-based, individual, and government run-healthcare. Democrats passed the Affordable Care Act, but the GOP has continued to undermine it at every turn. The costs of care have become astronomically high while the quality of care being received has cratered.
This has Republicans scared and scrambling to mobilize against Medicare for All by fearmongering with misleading and outright false narratives. But there's no amount of fearmongering the GOP and its allies can use to distract from the glaring reality that the U.S. spends twice as much per capita on healthcare than comparable countries.
Medicare for All could save individuals and families thousands of dollars, undercutting the fake right-wing narrative that a single-payer system would be too expensive. We know it, the GOP knows it, and the American people know it.
Passing Medicare for All has never been more urgent. While the number of uninsured Americans has dropped to a record low, thanks to legislation like the Affordable Care Act, this alone is not enough. The road ahead will be challenging, but our movement's determination to pass our progressive agenda will never slow down.
Our grassroots campaign will continue to advocate and organize around the bold solutions needed to answer the biggest issues facing working people across the country. Will you stand with me today, and chip in to power our movement?
In solidarity,
Pramila
