    We’ll will be sick one day. We’ll have our share of chronic illnesses. When people have a regular source of care and can afford their meds and treatments, it can add years to their lives. But only some Americans can count on it. We can still change that: https://unitedstatesofcare.org https://twitter.com/aslavitt/status/960936619284017153 …

        Replying to @Atul_Gawande

        But they don't want us to have guaranteed healthcare? That's not any kind of progress. That org is set up to funnel energy away from single-payer and guaranteed universal healthcare.

        This. They have deliberately refused to identify their donors. This is nothing more than an effort to KEEP PROFIT IN HEALTHCARE.

        This organization is trying to confuse people into thinking it’s talking about MedicareForAll! They want to cheat people of right to universal healthcare like all other countries have. Only in U.S. would capitalists place Profits ahead of saving lives with Gov provided Healthcare

        Congress needs to #FixtheCliff for Community Health Center funding or millions will loose their usual source of care and fund #THCGME to train doctors who can provide the care. This is urgent- programs are closing due to unstable funding.

        They're not pushing for Single Payer, so they're not trying to help anyone who's not an insurance exec or shareholder. #MedicareForAll is what the people want.
