Sorry to make my followers freaking angry, but we need to push back on this garbage usatoday.com/story/opinion/… #MedicareForAll
No, @realDonaldTrump, #MedicareForAll doesn't end Medicare for seniors or "take away benefits"! Rather, it *expands* Medicare to everyone -- increasing young and healthy in the insurance pool -- which allows for huge *improvement* and *expansion* of benefits. A better Medicare!
No, you haven't, @realDonaldTrump. Your administration is suing to end pre-existing condition protections. You have also allowed short-term junk "insurance" plans -- with no ACA protections -- to be sold again. These discriminate against the sick, women, and anyone who needs care
Does @realDonaldTrump know that Medicare is a government social insurance program? And that it's significantly more popular than private health insurance? #MedicareForAll -- wanted by 70% of Americans -- makes a good program great.
Well, in a sense this is true, because seniors would have *more* and *better* benefits with #MedicareForAll, including dental care and less overall cost-sharing. When young pay more into #Medicare, instead of premiums for Aetna junk plans, Medicare becomes *stronger* for seniors!
Bullshit, @realDonaldTrump. The status quo means that rural hospitals and clinics are closing and leaving many seniors -- those who voted for you -- with no access to health care, because the private insurance model impoverishes rural communities.
#MedicareForAll provides rational and predictable financing for hospitals and doctors, including the many hospitals closing in rural communities. About 90 percent of doctors accept #Medicare, which is more than any private insurance program.
Did you get this line from @AHIPCoverage, @realDonaldTrump? LMAO.

No, #MedicareForAll means *everybody in and nobody out.* When young and healthy pay into Medicare instead of premiums for junk private plans, Medicare becomes *stronger* for those most likely to need care, seniors
.@realDonaldTrump, Democrats are increasingly supporting #MedicareForAll not only because it is good universal health care policy, but because it is *incredibly popular* with both Democrats and Republicans. About 70 percent of Americans want it! pnhp.org/blog/2018/08/2…
No, @realDonaldTrump, we want #MedicareForAll, just like in Australia and Canada. Remember, Donald, when you told Australia's prime minister that their #MedicareForAll system is much better than ours?
Actually, @realDonaldTrump, the architects of Medicare intended for it to be expanded to *everyone*, not just seniors. theintercept.com/2017/03/31/ber…
Good question, @realDonaldTrump! And the answer is that Medicare *can* be expanded "to simply cover everybody." Donald, visit @PNHP and @dsam4a, and learn more about how this can happen. Key word: *simply.*
Seniors deserve a better Medicare. Young people deserve guaranteed health care. Working people deserve guaranteed health care.

#MedicareForAll means better health care for everyone, especially seniors. Period. <END>
