I am your constituent. Life expectancy for Americans is worse than our peer industrialized nations and getting worse daily. Ours is declining (down to 76) and theirs is increasing (82 and above) even afterafter COVID. A recent article in the Journal of the Population Research Bureau (Jan 12, 2023) found that it is related to policies in place at state levels. More liberal healthcare, labor, environmental, tax policies and more stringent gun safety measures led to longer lives. People in states that have the.opposite die sooner. If all states had such liberal policies over 170,000 lives world have been saved in 2019 alone.
You can fix so much of this. I want you to co-sponsor and support HR3421, Improved Medicare For All. I want you to build tougher federal gun safety and ownership laws - that will save the lives of many of the 48,000 gunshot casualties each year. I want you to create a federal living minimum wage that really matches where the economy is, not $7.25/hour. You can do it and you can save those lives. Do it
