We all deserve to have a healthcare system that really works, everyday and in times of crisis. We have the highest amenable death rate amongst our industrialized peer nations, 112 deaths/100,000 people in 2016 - pre-pandemic. That’s more than double France’s (who has Universal Healthcare). According to a Yale University study, more than 338,000 lives were needlessly lost during the pandemic and over a hundred billion dollars wasted in one year only because we do not have a Single Payer Universal Healthcare System.
You have the power to fix this for all Americans and we are counting on you. I want you to pass either Representative Jayapal’s Medicare for All or Senator Sanders bill, pick one and pass it. I want the Executive branch to set up a commission to design the program much the way Oregon and Washington States are doing. Please help us and do this. Thank you.
