Hi @AdyBarkan
I'd like to have a direct conversation with you over your endorsement of Warren's #MedicareForAll plan. I highly doubt you'll respond but I am going to try. Hopefully you do and hopefully I'll be able to make you re-think your decision.

First off, I am going to tell you of my plight.
I likely won't see the first term through of whomever the next POTUS is. Like you, I have limited time left. I am infected with 2 antibiotic resistant superbugs - E. Coli & Staph. There's no cure & they'll eventually kill me.

There is only 1 ABX which works as a firewall, Vantin, that only prevents it from spreading further. It can't kill my infection. So I take that and have drain changes frequently to jettison the infected puss and blood out of my body. It prolongs my limited time.
My meds cost me $1000s a month and I'm on several.
These are all the medications I'm currently on for the 2 ABX resistant infections I have. 👇🏼

Under Warren's prescription drug plan, I wouldn't be able to afford my meds. The only reason I'm able to now is because my mom & day who are in their late 70s pay the majority out of pocket for them & I get help through a couple drug makers. But after my folks pass I'm screwed.
And with them in their late 70s, that isn't too far off.
Many are in the same position as I. There are so many who can't afford their meds and people are dying because of it. You've surely heard all the stories about insulin and epi-pens.

Bernie would cap my cost at $0 A YEAR for my meds, and $200 a YEAR for everyone else who makes above $52k a year. I, and millions more can afford that.
Warren caps it at $500 A MONTH! Millions can't afford that.
That's a massive difference in price, $1000s of dollars yearly.

Under Warren's plan people would continue to go without their meds and ration their prescriptions.
This is a recipe for disaster as we've seen. Ask yourself is that REALLY the best policy that helps people? I think the logically conclusion is a solid "NO" it is not.

I really hope you'll read this and reconsider your endorsement. People's lives are at stake and we don't have the time to be messing around with this. We need to make sure nobody is left out & that's why I hope you'll reconsider & endorse #Bernie2020 and #MedicareForAll.
