As the largest healthcare union in the country, we’re thrilled to see candidates like @AndrewYang share their healthcare and long term care plans. We support all plans that move healthcare forward, but it is not an endorsement of a candidate. yang2020.com/blog/a-new-way…
@AndrewYang At a time when President Trump and Republicans are still determined to take away healthcare from 20 million people and raise costs for 135 million people with pre-existing conditions, all Democratic candidates are pushing for expanding affordable care.
@AndrewYang Yang’s plan, “A New Way Forward for Healthcare in America,” includes several ideas to improve the healthcare system by reducing costs for all working people, using technology to improve quality of care, and reducing the influence of corporate interests.
@AndrewYang His plan builds on the ACA and would lower costs by creating a public option insurance plan. People who have healthcare coverage through work would also be able to purchase this public plan.
@AndrewYang His plan would also seek to lower costs by paying doctors and hospitals a flat fee instead of paying for every service.
@AndrewYang Yang’s plan seeks to tackle the skyrocketing drug prices that are crushing working families by allowing the gov. to negotiate prices with manufacturers, linking prices to other developed countries, and have the gov. manufacture generics and high-demand medications.
@AndrewYang To solve the shortage of doctors and nurses in rural areas, Yang would use telehealth technology. That same technology would be used to reach more people with disabilities and expand mental health.
@AndrewYang The Yang plan would encourage MDs to talk about diet and exercise, end-of-life care, and take into account quality of life issues.
@AndrewYang The Yang plan would include mental health checkups and more school resources, as well as transportation, mobility and preventive care for people with disabilities.
@AndrewYang We’re glad that so many candidates like @JoeBiden @PeteButtigieg, @amyklobuchar, @BernieSanders, @ewarren & others are proposing solutions to lower healthcare costs and improve care for working families.
@AndrewYang @JoeBiden @PeteButtigieg @amyklobuchar @BernieSanders @ewarren It's time for everyone in America to have quality, affordable healthcare, the right to join a union, wages that can sustain our families and retirement security. It's time to rewrite the rules so that every working family in America—Black, white or Brown—can thrive. #UnionsForAll
