In 1965, half of all seniors over the age of 65 had no medical insurance. The passage of Medicare ended that injustice. Now, in 2021, we can continue to fulfill the promise of Medicare by expanding it to include dental care, eyeglasses, and hearing aids. Let's get it done.

In my view, there is no compromise when it comes to protecting the right to vote. We must stop the onslaught of voter suppression and make it easier, not harder to vote in this country.

While GOP legislatures are working overtime to deny Black Americans and young people the right to vote, this is what Mitch McConnell says: "I’ve taken a look at all the new state laws—none of them are designed to suppress the vote." That’s why we must pass the For the People Act.

Vision care is health care. Dental care is health care. Hearing care is health care. That's why we must expand Medicare to cover dental care, eyeglasses, and hearing aids.

I do not think it is too radical an idea to say that keeping teeth in your mouth should not be a luxury. Medicare must be expanded to include dental care, eyeglasses, and hearing aids.

The way to rebuild the crumbling middle class in this country is by growing the trade union movement.

That's $28 million MORE than Jeff Bezos paid in income taxes in 2007 and 2011. Yes, it is time for billionaires to pay their fair share of taxes.https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1403841707263901696 …

Warren Buffett wealth growth, 2014-2018: $24.3 BILLION Warren Buffett tax rate, 2014-2018: 0.1% Average working class American tax rate: 24.8% Maybe, just maybe, billionaires should start paying their fair share of taxes.

What a shock! With friends in high places, the very rich avoid paying their taxes. Who would have guessed? This is why we need a tax on wealth.https://twitter.com/nytimesbusiness/status/1404083655375532036 …

400 richest Americans wealth in 1991: $288 billion 400 richest Americans wealth in 2021: $3.2 trillion Tipped minimum wage in 1991: $2.13 an hour Tipped minimum wage in 2021: $2.13 an hour We must create an economy that works for all of us, not just the billionaire class.

When we stand together against the existential threat of climate change, we can create a future where preserving our planet matters more than Big Oil’s profits. Grassroots power stopped Keystone XL, and it will #StopLine3.https://twitter.com/billmckibben/status/1403457777155153923 …

We must take on the greed of the pharmaceutical industry, allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices, and save taxpayers some $600 billion. We can then use those savings to expand Medicare to cover dental, vision and hearing aids and lower the eligibility age to 60.
