    Under our current dysfunctional health care system, even people with private health insurance get stuck with unpayable bills. Under Medicare for All, there will be no unexpected bills, no copayments, no deductibles and no premiums.

    Replying to @BernieSanders
    Private health insurance and still owed $12,000 for my daughter’s heart issue. That’s just 1 hospital stay.

    The United States is the only major country in the world that makes sick people check to see if their hospital or doctor is "in-network" before getting care. Under Medicare for All you will be able to see any doctor and go to any hospital you want.

    Replying to @BernieSanders
    I have a $60,000 bill from a hospital for a 10 day stay in 2016. My doctor was in my insurance network however the hospital he worked in was not.

    The beauty of a Medicare for all system is its simplicity. If your child is sick, you do not have to worry about out-of-network cost or copayments for them to see a pediatrician — they will get the care they need, free at the point of service.

    Replying to @BernieSanders
    Daughter goes to doctor for check up, without her knowledge or consent the dr sends her bloodwork to an out of network lab. She gets a bill for $2000! For bloodwork! Outrageous!

    No one should be saddled with a $300,000 bill because they had a child. Under Medicare for All, there will be no copayments, deductibles or premiums.

    Replying to @BernieSanders
    I still have a $300,000 bill from when my son was born. My wife had medical coverage through the state but when he spent 21 days in the NICU they decided they weren't going to cover the caesarean section and the NICU visit leaving us with a bill theres no way we could pay...

    After months of protests led by immigrant communities, and allies from all over the country, the former internment compound at Fort Sill will NOT be used as a child detention center. When we stand together, we win. We are not going to let Trump dehumanize our neighbors.

    Once we transition to Medicare for All you will never have to switch insurance providers ever again. And you will never get stuck with a copayment you can't afford.

    Replying to @BernieSanders
    My employer-provided insurance benefits changed, and I reviewed the changes and saw I was covered for preventive care. Dr. did a physical and asked me back for a follow up. Follow up doesn't count as preventive (fine print) and now I have a bill for $400. Insurance Co won't waive

    Kids cannot learn if they are hungry, and kids in the richest country on the planet should not be going hungry. When I am president we are going to provide year-round, free, universal school meals.

    When elected president, I will NOT appoint an Education Secretary anything like Betsy DeVos. Here's a radical idea: maybe we appoint someone who knows something about public education.

    9 years ago, 1.2 million gallons of crude oil spilled from Enbridge's 6B pipeline into the Kalamazoo River. Today, with the climate crisis worsening, we must pipeline in Michigan and ban all new fossil fuel infrastructure. What we need is a Green New Deal.

    There’s enough violence in the world. The government shouldn’t add to it. When I am president, we will abolish the death penalty.

    DOJ announced that the federal government is going to resume capital punishment, and AG Bill Bar has directed the Bureau of Prisons to schedule executions for five death-row inmates

    In 1999 I traveled to Canada with breast cancer patients and watched as they, with tears in their eyes, finally received the medicine they could not afford in the United States. This Sunday we're going back with diabetics to purchase insulin at one-tenth the price.
