Great opinion piece in Boulder Weekly on an under-reported CO study finding that a state public single payer plan would save up to billions over the current insurance-based system. Currently, 350,000 Coloradans lack insurance. tinyurl.com/2p8jsmut #MedicareForAll
Without their knowledge, millions of seniors are quietly being enrolled into a program run by third-party middlemen called Medicare Direct Contractors, an attempt at privatizing the popular program. Call your reps! #RealMedicareForAll bit.ly/3EYhHaN

In my view, an asthma inhaler that is sold to the Canadian people for just $27 should not cost the American people $242. Period.

This year, Representative Susan Lontine fought to reduce health disparities. Representative Lontine received Healthier Colorado’s highest scores in the Colorado Legislature for championing bills that created more equity for Coloradans. Thank you @LontineHD1! #coleg

Calista was in a car accident that badly damaged her leg. A surgeon thinks they can save it, but that clinic is out of network.
In countries with single payer healthcare, physician and hospital is the PATIENT'S choice - not the insurance company's.

@MichaelBennet Please bring the tenets of the Health Care Emergency Guarantee Act of 2020 as an Amendment to the Rescue bill in the next reconciliation. If possible, make it retroactive to Jan. 2020 and effective until U.S. full herd immunity. Cheaper than Cobra & covers all! TY
