The United States is the only industrialized nation that still doesn’t guarantee comprehensive health care to every single resident. Every year American families are seeing premiums and cost of quality medical care skyrocket. Patients are dying because they are putting off medical visits they can’t afford. People are splitting prescription pills so they can make their outrageously high-priced prescription drug last a little longer.
It’s time for public officials around the country to stand with the American people the majority of whom, according to latest polling, believe Medicare For All is the best path forward. Insurance companies, drug manufacturers and special interest groups have been standing in the way of real progress for too long – it’s time we fought back. No family should be one healthcare crisis away from bankruptcy or a life time of paying off medical debt. It’s time to extend Medicare to everyone.
