According to the CDC, we still have more than 28 million uninsured Americans. We must continue to fight to keep and expand our healthcare protections.

Now is the time to catch up to the rest of the world and pass Medicare for All (H.R. 1384). And take healthcare out of the hands of the insurance industry and place it into the hands of healthcare professionals.

Medicare for All is not a new idea, nor is it a radical one. It saves lives and it saves money. Medicare for All makes sense.

What everyone should know about Medicare for All:

Saves Money

• Administering M4A saves over $500 billion a year, as compared to our current wasteful system.

• It is financed up-front through progressive taxes and saves consumers thousands of dollars every year.

Covers Everyone

• It ends healthcare rationing based on ability to pay and provides high quality, complete coverage for every resident from birth to death.

Good for Business

• It's good for business – particularly small businesses who are not burdened with the cost of providing health insurance.

Freedom to choose

• It gives us freedom to choose care-givers and to be able to live and work wherever we choose without fear of losing healthcare.

Simple and Uniform

• Single payer is a simple, uniform system that eliminates bureaucracy.

Medicare For All is not a new idea. Medicare For All makes sense.
