I am your constituent and I want you to that there are 25 million of us without health insurance and tens of millions with so-called junk catastrophic high deductible plans. The CBO ust estimated we are at 7.2% uninsured and heading to 8.9%. Here is a link to their analysis, https://www.cbo.gov/publication/60383.
We are wasting hundreds of billions of dollars every year. More than $400 billion according to the CBO.
I want you to readd up on universal healthcare. Here is a link to the text of HR 2321. It is long (about 100 pages). But it is a very comprehensive plan that would cover all of us for a lot less than we spend now. https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/3421/text
P.S. The Kaiser family foundation just reported that an employer sponsored health plan for a family is now $25K/year. I hope you don’t feel good about that. Pass Universal Healthcare. It is a sure way to show your constituents you actually care about them.
