We all deserve a healthcare system that works for all of us. I want you to know that in the U.S. we pay about twice a what Germany pays for healthcare. We pay about $12,434/person and they pay about $6232/person. They live longer, have far lower maternal and infant mortality and our avoidable death rate is 50% higher than theirs. Here is why. Everyone in Germany has to have a basic non-profit health insurance policy so they can go to the doctor if they have to without fear of going broke. When everyone has that benefit, the cost is far lower and the results far greater for everyone. We can do that. H. R. 3069, the vastly improved Medicare For All Act would provide public insurance paying private providers for all Americans at far less cost than we pay now. About $750 billion/year less in 2025 dollars per the 2020 Congressional Budget Report. The CBO report is publication 56811 for your reference. I recommend you and your staff read the text of H.R. 3069 because it details specifically how we will insure everyone and provide wider coverage at lower cost. I want you to start thinking about ALL AMERICANS AND WHAT WE ALL NEED. We all need a healthcare system that works for all of us and to be able to go to the doctor and not go broke. Enact H. R. 3069 now.
