We're facing a once-in-a-generation opportunity to finally repair our broken health care system.
More than 335 organizations have come together to demand #MedicareForAll NOW.
We have the momentum. It's time for members of Congress to meet the moment and join the fight.

On the eve of the He-Man reboot, reminder that He-Man’s creator had to beg fans to help him pay his medical bills at the end of his life. #MedicareForAll would have spared Roger Sweet and his family that final indignity and stress. Until we meet again.

No HMOs. No “out-of-network” denials/fees. No co-pays. No crowdfunders for medical treatment. No medical bankruptcies. No skipping medical care because it’s unaffordable. Just #MedicareForAll. Another world is possible.

Economists Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman did the math.
Replacing our current system with #MedicareForAll would result in a net pay raise of thousands of dollars for most workers, even after factoring in the additional taxes needed.

Canadian explains what accessing health care in Canada would cost Americans & it sounds a lot better than accessing health care in America, tbh. Why do we have to visit The Great White North to access health care this affordable? Time for #MedicareForAll

Yet we let 68,000 Americans die this way. Every. Single. Year. This has to change. #MedicareForAll.

Really, who at this point is defending private, for-profit health care except people trying to make money off of other people’s misfortune? #MedicareForAll

She gets it. @PublicHealth has determined that the best, most efficient, and most equitable way to improve medicare and the health care system would be to expand it into a universal, single-payer health system.

2/3 of Americans believe the gov't. should ensure that everyone has health care coverage.
Only 7% of Americans think the government has no role to play in providing health care.
If most of us want to see all of us covered, why don’t we have #MedicareForAll?

We could save 68,000 lives every year by switching to a single payer health care system, according to a 2021 study. Why haven’t we?

A 2021 study concluded that switching to single payer health care would save $450 billion dollars annually. Why are we unnecessarily spending $450 billion every year?

1 in 6 US adults delay seeking medical care, or didn't seek it at all, due to cost.
How much more costly is it when their illnesses reach the point of requiring emergency medical intervention?
How much less would it be if they had affordable medical care?

ALT The "two buttons" meme. PANEL ONE: a gloved hand hestitates before pressing one of two buttons. The first button reads "Spend $ you don't have to get medical treatment." The 2nd button reads: "Ignore the problem until it's so bad you wind up in the ER." 2nd panel: a man with a worried expression, wiping sweat from his brow. He is labeled "AMERICANS"

Despite marginally shorter hospital wait times (about 27 minutes less for an emergency room visit), Americans die 4 years younger on average than people in comparable countries with single payer health care.

Being able to access and afford health care when they need it is far and away the number one concern shared by most Americans. Isn’t it about time something was done about this? #MedicareForAll

No one should be financially ruined because of cancer. No other Western country has a healthcare system that bankrupts people because they are sick. The system must be changed. #MedicareForAll.

Pope Leo this week called universal health coverage a "moral imperative."
He also said: “Health cannot be a luxury for the few,” it is “an essential condition for social peace.”
