We Need Universal Healthcare Now

President Biden, We have a healthcare crisis. 27% of the population is on Medicaid. 8% of the population has no health insurance. States with expanded Medicaid have lower maternal mortality than states who did not expand Medicaid. That’s good. But that leaves women at higher risk in the non-expansion states and even worse the individual state legislatures determine what procedures and medicines they will cover, often leaving disaster in their wake when a needed prescription cannot be had because it is not on the state’s formulary. Remember our country allows 8% of the population (24M) to have no insurance and they are at worse health and financial risk than ever. You can do something. Please authorize an executive committee to determine how to implement universal healthcare in the US. All of our peer industrialized nations have it and they provide higher quality care for everyone at far lower cost. We all deserve healthcare. You can do this and we are counting on you.
