Co-Sponsor and Champion Medicare for All

To: Asm. Harabedian, Sen. Pérez, Gov. Newsom

From: A verified voter in Pasadena, CA

July 7

Co-sponsor and actively champion Medicare for All. Not as a talking point — as a legislative priority you fight for every day. The Democratic base is done with incremental half-measures while families get crushed by premiums, deductibles, and drug costs. As Larry Levitt of KFF put it, voters are demanding bigger ideas, and primary results across Colorado, New York, Illinois, and Maine are proving exactly that. Melat Kiros just unseated a 15-term incumbent in Denver. Brad Lander, Claire Valdez, and Darializa Avila Chevalier beat establishment favorites in New York. Graham Platner won in Maine. Single-payer health care was the through-line in every one of those races. Claire Valdez said it plainly: Americans overwhelmingly support Medicare for All, but it takes organizing to pass it. That organizing is happening right now, and voters are watching who is leading and who is stalling. The health insurance industry will spend whatever it takes to kill this. Their lobbyists argue a government-run system limits patient choice — but what choice does someone have when they can't afford care at all? Get on the right side of this. The 2026 cycle will reward representatives who fought hard for real change, not those who waited to see which way the wind blew.
