An Open Letter

To: Sen. Murray, Rep. Gluesenkamp Perez, Sen. Cantwell

From: A verified voter in Vancouver, WA

July 17

I am your constituent and I want you to know that according to GOODRX, https://www.goodrx.com/healthcare-access/research/updated-healthcare-deserts, more than 80% of the counties in America contain medical deserts where there is insufficient medical care available. 120 million of us are affected by this. Nearly 50 million of us live over 1 hour from a hospital equipped to handle major traumatic injuries. If they can’t be seen in that first hour after the trauma their risk of survival drops dramatically. There are things you can do to help improve the lives of your constituents and all Americans. You can enact Universal Healthcare like H.R. 3069/S. 1506. There are provisions for regional administrators to identify these medical deserts and they have special projects budgets to help build up the medical infrastructure to make sure that that everyone has timely access to healthcare. P.S. Universal Healthcare saves America $200 billion yearly in drug costs and $400 billion in wasted overhead. Universal healthcare costs us less, covers all of us and will make us healthier by providing all of us with access to medical care. 70% of Americans want you to do this. Listen to your constituents.
