This is a matter of life and death. When @JoeBiden comes into our state and spreads lies about healthcare, our loved ones die.
We have a moral obligation to speak the truth. Iowans, and the millions of people across the country, who can no longer wait for #MedicareForAll.

Under
#BidenCare, people will continue to be saddled with thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket costs and regularly drained by expensive premiums. Only#MedicareForAll will get rid of these costs.Prikaži ovu nit -
In terms of overall health care spending,
#BidenCare will cost $750 billion over a decade. And this is on top of current spending, which is projected at $42.9 trillion over the next ten years. Medicare for All will cost trillions of dollars less.pic.twitter.com/JgKSrQ7OA3

We know all about the lies
@JoeBiden has been telling because we’ve been hearing them for years: They are the talking points of the for-profit healthcare industry. Now, healthcare CEOs and lawyers are giving Joe Biden huge sums of money to get him to repeat these lies.Prikaži ovu nit -
To say that
#MedicareForAll will make Medicare go away, that we can’t afford it, or that millions will lose their jobs is simply not true. These are the talking points of health insurance insiders who have contributed to@JoeBiden’s campaign, but they are not the truth.Prikaži ovu nit -
