Unions shouldn’t have to bargain, much less strike, for better health care — because insurance should NOT be tied to your employment status. Period.
Let’s pass Medicare for All and fix that.

PNHP has been calling for an end to the dangerous and insidious Medicare Direct Contracting program for months. Imagine our surprise when @CMSGov announced they were ending the program ... and replacing it with the virtually identical REACH model.

A group of Medical Examiners in the US have come together to develop an open letter in response to the reprehensible testimony proffered by the defense expert Dr David Fowler. Please take a look and sign on. Share with your physician network.

Someone who doesn’t know the difference between a gun and a taser shouldn’t be allowed to carry either!

How are we going to pay for #SinglePayer #MedicareForAll?
We'll give you a hint. The $4 TRILLION we spend on health care each year is more than enough *if* we cut out the middlemen.

In 1993, Mike Huff was a trusted defensive replacement and pinch runner for a division-winning White Sox team. After the season, he got a call from Jerry Reinsdorf about teaching some defensive fundamentals to another outfielder

For every white male dollar:
- Asian American women earn 87 cents
- White women earn 79 cents
- Black women earn 63 cents
- Native American women earn 58 cents
- Latina women earn 54 cents
Pay equity among men and women workers should be established by LAW.

People don’t want overly complicated choice between pricey, low-quality plans.
We want an affordable solution that covers our needs, like the rest of the modern world.
Medicare for All:
- Single-payer system
- Covers physical, mental, & dental care
- 0 due *at point of service*

#FakeInsurance #SinglePayerNow #Medicare4All Fake insurance made my patient cry. A new widow now makes too much on her husband’s pension to stay on Medicaid. She bought an accident and hospital indemnity policy promising peace of mind and freedom of choice, pays 4 no output care

At $10,724/capita we spend more than twice as other wealthy nations and still accept leaving tens of millions uninsured, shameful!
