Tag: Medicare For All

"All Americans are entitled to go to the doctor when they're sick and not go bankrupt after staying in the hospital."

More than 100 Democratic lawmakers co-sponsored a House bill last month to dramatically revamp healthcare in the United States by creating a Medicare-for-All system funded by the federal government.

The message is clear: to Republicans, health care is a right only for the rich; the rest can suffer and die. The GOP Hippocratic oath is: Do vast harm.

The giants of the healthcare industry agree on one thing: Medicare for All cannot become law.

"This is a milestone in the fight for universal healthcare and an equitable society, where working people make the decisions that determine our destiny."

“This Medicare for All bill really makes it clear what we mean when we say ‘Medicare for All.’"

Only a system that puts the well-being of all people above enriching a few will deliver the care we need, where and when we need it, and keep our rural communities alive and vibrant.

I believe that anyone covered under Medicare for All should be permitted to obtain services anywhere in the world, so long as the services are similar to those provided in the United States and at a price that is no greater than that charged in the U.S.

At a checkpoint in Yuma, Arizona, around 6,000 Americans cross into Los Algodones, Mexico daily for health care reasons – predominantly dental care.

It doesn’t matter if he personally wins or not, so long as his platform – and particularly Medicare for All – is victorious.
