I have been fighting for #MedicareForAll for a long time. This year, I was proud to introduce the most progressive #MedicareForAll legislation that includes a two-year transition & covers long-term care for seniors & folks with disabilities.
We've built an incredible movement that's never been stronger, w/the first-ever House hearings, over half the @HouseDemocrats as co-sponsors, a broad coalition of 30+ labor unions, 250+ economists & hundreds of grassroots orgs across the nation who all support #MedicareForAll!
@HouseDemocrats We have two presidential candidates who are staunchly committed to #MedicareForAll & have made it a defining issue in this election. I've been honored to work w/@BernieSanders in this fight & am grateful for his visionary leadership & ironclad commitment to #MedicareForAll.
@HouseDemocrats @BernieSanders .@ewarren has also been a strong champion of #MedicareForAll, releasing her own financing plan that shows a detailed way to pay for #MedicareForAll & still save trillions of dollars for American families.
@HouseDemocrats @BernieSanders @ewarren .@ewarren's transition plan reaffirms her commitment to the four-year transition plan outlined in the Senate #MedicareForAll Bill. It lays out how she'd use exec & administrative authority to take on for-profit insurers & begin providing relief to the American people on Day 1.
@HouseDemocrats @BernieSanders @ewarren .@ewarren cracks down on Big Pharma immediately to reduce drug costs & save lives. She expands the benefits of existing programs, to match those defined in #MedicareForAll, & then expands the number of Americans automatically eligible for these programs.
@HouseDemocrats @BernieSanders @ewarren This would dramatically increase the total number of Americans w/guaranteed comprehensive #Medicare4All coverage.
@HouseDemocrats @BernieSanders @ewarren Like the House & Senate #Medicare4All bills, @ewarren’s plan makes this coverage immediately available to all Americans to buy into for a nominal fee that goes to $0 by the end of the transition period—which would mean even more Americans w/comprehensive #MedicareForAll coverage.
@HouseDemocrats @BernieSanders @ewarren In the third year of the transition, @ewarren takes on the final piece of covering the remaining people who are still on private insurance, w/everyone on #MedicareForAll by the end of the fourth year.
@HouseDemocrats @BernieSanders @ewarren .@ewarren's transition plan is one smart approach to take on Big Pharma & private for-profit insurance companies, & gets us to #MedicareForAll that covers everyone w/comprehensive care in four years.
