There's a lot of lobbyist-funded misinformation out there preventing us from realizing "healthcare as a human right."

Let's bust a few #MedicareForAll myths, shall we?

People ♥️ their doctors, not their insurance companies. #MedicareForAll eliminates the barriers insurance companies put up between you and the doctors you ♥️ and the care you need.

#MedicareForAll would save $450 billion per year compared to our current healthcare system and $600 billion per year compared to the Public Option.

#M4A being too expensive isn't an issue.

Health Insurance ≠ Healthcare.

#MedicareForAll eliminates the bureaucratic red tape and financial barriers between you, your doctors and the treatments you need.

#MedicareForAll is government-funded— not government-run. There is a big difference.

Only #MedicareForAll treats healthcare as a human right.

The Public Option would still leave tens of millions uninsured and just providing "access to affordable healthcare," means cost will still be an issue for too many.

Where do these #MedicareForAll myths come from?
🥁🥁🥁
Insurance, medical & pharmaceutical lobbyists and centrist think tanks like Third Way (which my opponent, Rep. Tom Suozzi is an honorary co-chair). They spread misinformation so voters will vote against their best interests.

The Venn Diagram of politicians opposing #MedicareForAll and those funded by the insurance, medical and pharmaceutical industries looks like a single, perfect ⭕️

There's no big mystery as to why members of Congress oppose #M4A — they're paid to.

My opponent has taken over $300k from insurance, medical and pharmaceutical corporate PACs in the last 2 cycles and is adamantly against #M4A

I'm rejecting corporate PAC money and will fight for #MedicareForAll

Can you chip and help me fight for #M4A?
