The tragic and horrific shooting of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson contains a sobering lesson. Americans have had it with the injustice and cruelty of our current healthcare system. Their rage has hit a boiling point. I abhor violence; it is never justified. It is clear that something has to change. Americans are really, really hurting. We’re angry. We’re fed up. Millions of U.S. citizens are being saddled with staggering amounts of debt, going bankrupt, or even dying because of our utterly broken healthcare system. The solution to this terrible situation is some form of single-payer healthcare. There is no other way. It will not be easy nor perfect. Alas, we can’t afford to keep going down the deadly road of healthcare-for-profit. It’s past time for practical solutions. Please co-sponsor and support S. 1655 / H.R. 3421 The Medicare For All Act. Change is knocking. We can do this if Congress has the will. It must. Because we, the people, surely do. Thank you.
