Please co-sponsor and support S. 1655 (The Medicare For All Act). The time for change has come. The tragic and horrific shooting of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson as well as the public’s reaction to it, contain a sobering lesson. I abhor violence; it is never, ever justified. But it is clear that something has to change. Americans have had it with the injustice and cruelty of our current healthcare system. Their rage has hit a boiling point. Americans are really, really hurting. We’re angry. We’re fed up. The solution to this terrible situation, in which 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, is some form of single-payer healthcare. There is no other way. Will it be easy? No. Will it be perfect? Definitely not. But can we afford to keep going down the deadly road of healthcare-for-profit? I think it’s clear we can’t. We can do this if Congress has the will. It must. Because we, the people, surely do. Thank you.
