The Urgent Need for Single-Payer Healthcare I am writing to you as a constituent who deeply depends on the Affordable Care Act (ACA) for my healthcare. While the ACA has been a lifeline for millions of Americans, recent events underscore the urgent need to move beyond a for-profit health insurance system and adopt single-payer healthcare for all. The recent tragic murder of UnitedHealth Group’s CEO has brought attention to the gross inequities in our healthcare system. It is appalling that CEOs of private insurance companies make tens of millions of dollars annually, while countless Americans cannot afford life-saving medications or treatments. This profit-driven model prioritizes shareholder profits over people’s health and well-being. We cannot allow the health of our nation to remain hostage to private insurers. It is time to end the stranglehold of the health insurance industry and transition to a single-payer healthcare system that guarantees comprehensive healthcare for every American. A Medicare-for-All system would ensure equitable access to care, eliminate exorbitant administrative costs, and allow families to focus on their health instead of navigating a bureaucratic maze. I urge you to prioritize the well-being of your constituents over the profits of large corporations. The United States is the only developed nation without universal healthcare, and the consequences of this are felt daily by millions of Americans. The time for bold action is now. Please fight to make healthcare a fundamental right for all by supporting and advancing single-payer healthcare legislation. Thank you for your time and attention to this critical issue. I look forward to seeing your leadership in addressing the health inequities that plague our country. Sincerely, Andrew Lundberg
