Enact Improved Medicare for All and Improve Women's Health

Women's maternal mortality rate is now at an all time high in the US. 32.9 deaths per 100,000 live births. 69.9 deaths/100,000 live births if you're black. This is way out of line. Germany is at 4, France is at 8. We are worse than any of our peer industrialized countries (who have universal healthcare). There are several problems but doctor's don't always listen well to women and they have built in biases about women and people of color. Study after study has shown this. We can give doctors the time to listen well and check their bias at the door if they are incentivized to keep people healthy. Today much of the system pays doctors to see as many patients as possible and increase their billings. I want you to co-sponsor and support Improved Medicare for All (HR 3421 or S 1655). Global budgets will give doctors the time they need to make sure that patients get the care they deserve. Please support it.
