LIVE: I'm on the Senate floor asking my colleagues a simple question: Isn't it time for Congress to respond to the demands of 92% of the American people who want to expand Medicare to cover dental, vision and hearing? I have a bill to do just that. xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1OdKrDdam…

If you're rich in America, the odds are you'll live as long as people in other developed countries. If you're poor, you'll live 10 or 15 years less. Anybody else see a problem with that?

Our system is broken. Olympic Bronze Medalist @arianaramsey_ shouldn't have to worry about affording a pap smear, dental care, or glasses — but in the U.S., she does. Everyone deserves the care they need when they need it. Health care as a human right! #MedicareForAll

25% of people. 1 in 4. This is staggering. Nobody should have to forego care due to cost or access. Nobody. We need a healthcare system that puts people over profit. We need Medicare for All. qz.com/medical-care-expenses…

A growing number of Americans are skipping medical care because of cost

A new Federal Reserve report says that over 25% of Americans skipped a medical treatment because they could not afford it

Just last year alone,@UnitedHealthGrp took $22.4 BILLION in profit. But community members like @jenncoffey have to fight for their lives, literally, to get coverage for the care they need. "Enough is enough. Pay for our care." #CareOverCost #UnitedDeniesCare

📣 TIME TO FESS UP! United Healthcare execs are finally facing accountability. Why are they lining their own profits while patients face denial after denial, unable to get the care they need? End corporate greed. End for-profit insurance.

I'm live in Boston chairing a @HELPCmteDems subcommittee hearing on the impacts of corporate greed on our health workers, patients, and communities. It’s past time we stop letting for-profit forces turn our health care system into a wealth care system. xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1dRKZEnVL…

“If Medicare Advantage has it their way, they’re going to deny me care and delay me care until I’m dead.” — Jenn The greedy health insurance corporations that run Medicare (Dis)Advantage will always put profits above patients. That’s why we’ve got to #ReclaimMedicare.

I love that my health insurance sends me at least one piece of physical mail a month that’s just like “Hello! You have insurance :) thank you for going paperless!”
