This is the #DemPartyPlatform for 2020.This section is called: ACHIEVING UNIVERSAL, AFFORDABLE, QUALITY HEALTH CARE
Only one party has a specific plan for ensuring EVERY American will have access to quality healthcare as a human right..the other fights to TAKE IT AWAY. 1/10

Overturning the #AffordableCareAct remains a central plank of the Republican Party (invisible) platform. The difference in values between the two parties on this life-or-death issue could not be more stark. 2/11 #DemPartyPlatform #healthcare

The pandemic has made this difference in values painfully,brutally clear. Pres Trump has repeatedly downplayed the threat of the coronavirus, bullied governors for enacting life-saving public health measures, &left our frontline health care heroes w/o the equipment they need 3/11

The burdens of this pandemic have not been borne equally, as communities of color have suffered higher rates of infection and death, and struggled to access life-saving care when they need it most. 4/11 #DemPartyPlatform #Healthcare #COVID19

Our essential workers have been deemed expendable by the President and his Administration. 5/11

As Democrats, we say with one voice: no more.6/11 #DemPartyPlatform #Healthcare #DemocratsUnited

We are going to at last build the health care system the American people have always deserved: one that finally provides universal health care coverage; reduces prescription drug prices, premiums, and out-of-pocket costs; reins in overall health care expenses..7/11 #healthcare

#Democrats will build a health care system that is driven by the needs of patients and the people who care for them, instead of the profit motives of corporations. 8/11 #DemPartyPlatform #Healthcare #PeopleOverProfits

#Democrats will tackle entrenched racial disparities in health care, reduce prescription drug prices by standing up to big pharma companies &make it easier to access mental health & substance use disorder treatment &long-term services &supports in metro & rural areas alike. 9/11

#Democrats will always fight to save Americans’ lives by making it easier and more affordable to go to the doctor, get prescription medicines, and access preventive testing and treatments. 10/11 #DemPartyPlatform #healthcare

Generations of Democrats have been united in the fight for #universalhealthcare.We are proud our party welcomes advocates who want to build on &strengthen the #ACA &those who support a #MedicareForAll approach;all are critical to ensuring that health care is a human right.11/11
