Sanders' Medicare for All

Bernie Sanders unveiled his “Medicare for All” bill on Wednesday. He recognizes that it will be an uphill battle to implement this, or similar, legislation. However, the time has arrived to vigorously push for a truly equitable health care system for this country - one which ensures that quality health care is readily accessible for all, regardless of ability to pay.

Here is a short video of a Canadian doctor at Sanders' press conference, extolling the virtues of their single-payer system, which delivers better results for half the cost:

Sixteen senators have co-sponsored Bernie Sanders’ bill, including Kamala Harris (CA), Elizabeth Warren (MA), Kirsten Gillibrand (NY), Cory Booker (NJ), Al Franken (MN), Richard Blumenthal (CT), and Jeanne Shaheen (NH).

Action:

1. Contact one or more of the co-sponsoring senators (links on names above), thanking them for supporting Bernie’s bill.
2. Contact your own senators again to remind them (if they haven't already signed on) that you want them to co-sponsor Bernie’s bill.
