I am your constituent and I just learned that the US has a declining life expectancy problem. Rich or poor it is far worse than our peer industrialized nations. Chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, and diabetes are killing our middle age population in far greater numbers than guns and opioids and suicides.
Making sure we can focus on health before we become sick is a good start. I want you to make healthcare with preventive care available to all of us with no deductibles or copays that limit our use of insurance, HR 3421, does that. I want you to expand the number of medical facilities in rural America and in other medical deserts, HR 3421 does that. I want you to expand the number of doctors (2000) and nurses (60,000) and increase the capabilities of community health centers, S 2840 does that.
Let’s summarize. I want you to cosponsor and pass HR 3421 the much improved Medicare for All Act and S. 2840 the Bipartisan Primary Care and Health Workforce Act so we can get a start at increasing our life expectancy again. Thank you.
