The big day is almost here.
Tomorrow, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders and Reps. Pramila Jayapal and Debbie Dingell will officially reintroduce Medicare for All legislation in the House and Senate!
The reintroduction of Medicare for All could not come at a more important time.
Currently, we are in a nationwide fight to stop Congressional Republicans’ plan to cut nearly $1 TRILLION from Medicaid in order to pay for tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires.
The majority of Americans on both sides of the aisle agree that our for-profit health care system is deeply broken.1 Too many people cannot afford the care they need, while for-profit hospitals, insurance companies, and other bad actors in the health care industry see their profits soar.
As the GOP comes for some of our most vulnerable communities’ health care, it’s critical that we put forward our vision of a health care system that would instead fix the current crisis and guarantee health care for ALL in our country, regardless of where you’re from or your ability to pay.
Health care is a human right, not a privilege that politicians should be able to take away from us for the sake of their wealthy donors.
In solidarity,
Nurses’ Campaign to Win Medicare for All
