Today's @WaysMeansCmte hearing on universal coverage is another step toward comprehensive care for EVERY person living in the United States. Women's reproductive health, prescription drugs, mental health care, long-term care - and that's just the beginning under #M4A!

This afternoon, a two dozen Santa Barbarians met with our Congressman, @RepCarbajal,who has not yet signed on to #MedicareForAll. I was glad to hear him say healthcare is a human right, but disappointed that he still isn't a supporter. I guess we'll have to build more power!

Last week more than 300 nurses with @NationalNurses teamed up with @AdyBarkan in Washington, D.C. to ask Congress to support #MedicareForAll. Now, we must capitalize off this energy and momentum, and show our legislators that we won't back down. actionnetwork.org/forms/medi…

This morning we wake up to news that Trump is sending aircraft carriers to Iran, threatening to escalate a trade war with China, and doubling down on support for Guaidó despite the failed plot. His foreign policy is dangerous. Congress must act as a check and voice for restraint.

About 1 in 8 had to resort to borrowing to afford care in the previous year, according to a new survey. 65 million adults say they had a health issue but didn't seek treatment due to cost. cnn.it/2K8SmUa

Here’s a radical idea: Instead of denying paychecks to 800,000 federal workers over Christmas, how about taking away the Koch brothers $1.4 billion tax cut, the $670 million tax cut given to Sheldon Adelson and the $2.2 billion given to Walmart as a result of the Trump tax scam?

U.S. student loan debt outstanding reached a record $1.465 trillion last month. You know the most revolting part of this crisis? The federal government makes billions in profits off of student loans each year.
