#MedicareForAll #DemDebate
1/ I have seen how cripplingly high health insurance costs devastate employees, entrepreneurs and families. These middle men hoard profits that could be invested in payer higher wages. They are preventing innovation and stalling job creation.

2/ We need a true #MedicareForAll system -- not something that sounds like it, but really relies on private health insurance companies. A plan that would not remove health insurers, the middle men, from our health care payment system, is not the answer.
3/ My mom raised me by herself in Southern California and we lost our home to foreclosure when I was a teenager. My experience is the experience of tens of millions of other Americans and the experience of the nearly 8 out of 10 Americans who live paycheck to paycheck.
4/ Many Americans wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat wondering how they will afford to take their kid to the doctor. Many Americans don’t ask their boss for their deserved raise because they don’t want to alienate the person who controls their health insurance.
5/ We need a true #MedicareForAll to move the needle on ending poverty in America, giving businesses relief from health insurance middle men and to ensure all Americans have health care. I applaud Sens. @BernieSanders and @ewarren in their support of that policy.
