It never fails to amaze me how incredibly warped the debate in Congress is on health reform. While majorities of the public likely favor Medicare-for-All, this Congress full of shills dismisses the idea out of hand.
Time to fight back. Call your representative and senators now and tell them to cosponsor HR 676 and S. 703, vote for the Weiner amendment and S. 703 when they come to the floor of the House and Senate soon, and retain the Kucinich amendment in HR 3200!
Just in case you need to know what these are:
HR 676 is the The United States National Health Care Act, which would simply expand Medicare eligibility to all Americans.
The Weiner amendment is an amendment to the main healthcare bill, HR 3200, that is going to receive a vote on the House floor this year. This is very important because Medicare-for-All has never gotten a floor vote before!
S. 703 was introduced by the great Senator Bernie Sanders to create a single payer health care system. It will also likely receive a floor vote this year!
