HUGE NEWS: We are seeing a sizable groundswell of new support for Medicare
for All in Congress, and we need your help to keep the momentum going!

Four new members of Congress have officially signed on as cosponsors of
the Medicare for All Act: Sen. Tina Smith (MN), Rep. April McClain Delaney
(MD-09), Rep. Jared Moskowitz (FL-23), and Rep. Julie Johnson (TX-32).
This is in addition to Sen. Chris Van Hollen (MD) and Rep. Adelita
Grijalva (AZ-07), who signed on last month!

This surge of support for Medicare for All is a clear sign of the shift in
energy we’ve all been feeling recently. The momentum is real — and
growing.

And it’s coming at a critical time. The Senate just took up two competing
health care proposals — a three-year ACA extension from Democrats and an
expansion of Health Savings Accounts from Republicans. Both failed,
showing once again that while mainstream Democrats are offering stopgap
protections that are necessary but still temporary, Republicans have no
real plan. But we know the truth: short-term band-aids aren’t enough. The
only solution is Medicare for All.

And it’s clear that more members of Congress each day agree with us.
That’s why today we’re driving calls to Congress renewing our demand for
Medicare for All — and your member of Congress and senators need to hear
from you.

Use our hotline 202-858-1717 to call your U.S. Representative, and
202-519-0494 to call your U.S. Senators NOW, and feel free to follow our
short script:

Hi, my name is _______. I am a constituent and I’m a nurse/other health
care worker/patient. I’m calling today in support of Medicare for All. Our
health care system is failing patients and providers, and incremental
fixes aren’t enough. Support for Medicare for All is broad, and growing by
the day. If you are not yet a cosponsor of the Medicare for All Act, I
urge you to sign on. If you are already a cosponsor, thank you — and
please continue championing Medicare for All as the real solution to this
health care crisis.

Every call matters. Every new cosponsor moves us closer. Let’s flood their
phone lines and keep building this momentum for the care we all deserve.

In solidarity,

National Nurses United
