Save Money, Save Lives, Enact Medicare For All Of Us

We all deserve a healthcare system that works for all of us. I know there have been discussions about tax credits and ACA insurance plans and how many millions will not be able to afford health insurance. I know that Medicaid cuts enacted last year will force millions out of their health insurance. I also just learned that prescription drug makers agreed to lower prices on a handful of drugs last week but are raising prices on 350 others according to Reuters. They don’t do that in countries where there is universal healthcare. Our system of paying for healthcare is broken. 8% of Americans can’t afford to be insured and millions more have catastrophic insurance policies with such high deductibles as to be useless. We pay twice what our 35 peer industrialized nations with universal healthcare pay and our drug costs can be 3 times as much. Our avoidable death rates, maternal mortality and infant mortality far exceed what our peer industrialized nations have. Those are needless deaths. I want you to make America Healthy and the way to do it is to make sure that everyone can go to the doctor and get the medicines they need without going broke. 62% of Americans want their government to make sure that all Americans have health insurance that works according to the Gallup Poll. We can do that. H. R. 3069, the vastly improved Medicare For All Act would provide public insurance paying private providers for all Americans at far less cost than we pay now. About $750 billion/year less in 2025 dollars per the 2020 Congressional Budget Report adjusted for inflation. The CBO report is publication 56811 for your reference. I recommend you and your staff read the text of H.R. 3069 because it details specifically how we will insure everyone and provide wider coverage at lower cost. I want you to start thinking about ALL AMERICANS AND WHAT WE ALL NEED. We all need a healthcare system that works for all of us and to be able to go to the doctor and buy medicines and not go broke. Enact H. R. 3069 now.
