Sick of our broken healthcare system? Medicare is one of the most popular programs in American history. Why not give people the choice to enroll—and force insurance companies to compete? That’s Medicare for Americans.

Private health insurers provide health care the same way ticket scalpers provide concert tickets. They don't & just exist to make health care more expensive for no reason other than to put money in their own pockets. Which is why we need #MedicareForAll.
You know how ticket scalpers don’t actually provide concert tickets & just exist to make tickets more expensive for no reason other than to put money in their own pockets? Substitute “concert tickets” with “health care” and “ticket scalpers” with “private health insurance” and you see pretty quickly why we need #MedicareForAll.

This is what the latest research shows would happen for an average family if we moved to #MedicareForAll instead of a profit-driven, privatized health care system. WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?
Threads post by @marks_wells_rector. Text reads: "The new Yale Medicare-for-All study is bigger news than it's getting. An average insured family of 4 pays about $10k/year today. With M4A they will pay nothing unless they have income above $200K. Above $200K: 6% only on income OVER $200K. No premiums. No deductibles. No copays. For most Americans, Medicare for All isn't a tax increase. It's a massive healthcare cost cut."

ABDUL EL-SAYED: “Americans carry $225 billion in medical debt. The average family deductible is $4,500. Just to use the insurance you already paid for, you may have to forgo an entire paycheck.” “If I do nothing else in public service, I want everybody in this country to have healthcare.”

Succinct summary of why a "public option" or "medicare for all who want it" schemes by centrist Dems are never going to bring down costs or achieve true universal health care. Only #MedicareForAll removes the murderous insurance companies making healthcare a nightmare in the US.
Ron Chusid@RonChusidAug 17
Medicare for All is able to cover everybody while also saving most people money due to 1) having everyone in the same risk pool and 2) eliminating the high costs created by the insurance industry. Any half measures from centrists which fail to do both of these are insufficient.

Here are 5 reasons as a progressive Democrat you shouldnt support the latest M4A bill Prayapal/Sanders dropped last year. congress.gov/bill/119th-cong… 1. Politically nonviable 2. Disrupts Popular Coverage 3. Unclear financing 4. Risks healthcare access 5. Better paths exist

Democratic Party leadership is out of step with Democratic voters on healthcare because they take money from the insurance industry while we get price gouged by them.
austerity is theft@wideofthepostAug 16
90% of Democrats in today’s CBS/YouGov poll want the Democratic party to focus on passing Medicare for All. Party leaders are in the 10%.

Insurance executives admitted they intentionally denied Forrest VanPatten's cancer treatment claim even though it was illegal due to laws forcing insurers to approve cancer treatments. Forrest died before being told this&not a single exec was ever charged

Luigi Mangione is going to serve the rest of his life in prison because he admittedly killed someone. No one in a healthcare company serves a minute in prison for the lives they take or ruin for refusing healthcare to people who need it. They are equally is guilty as Mangione.

Caring for your own people isn’t communism , it’s basic fucking humanity. A nation that lets its sick die while billionaires hoard unimaginable wealth isn’t “capitalism.” It’s a moral failure.

For years, we've been told Medicare for All is "too radical." Really? A new YouGov poll shows 64% of Americans support a Medicare for All, single-payer system. The American people agree: Healthcare is a human right. Let's get it done.

The UAW supports Medicare for All because everyone deserves quality healthcare. M4A would also strengthen our hand at the bargaining table to fight for better wages, time off, and retirement security for every UAW member. We ALL win with Medicare for All.
UAW graphic: "Medicare for All: We All Win. Yes, union members win, too - that's why the UAW supports Medicare for All." — Covers everyone with no cost at the point of service — Saves workers' money — Gives workers freedom in our health decisions — Guarantees comprehensive coverage — Lowers costs, saves time, improves efficiency system-wide

It's official. Our campaign to protect California school funding is now YES on Prop 3, on the November ballot. It keeps the wealthiest Californians paying their share so our public schools get the funding our students deserve. Without it, schools face devastating 15% budget cuts.
