It pits doctors against patients and puts us in the despicable position of aiding the insurance companies in their attempts to drive up their profits at your expense. The Affordable Care Act took care of all that. 3/9

And although it left way too many people without coverage, it was a step in the right direction. The Trump administration has been working steadily to dismantle it, and has succeeded. The CDC has reported that 1.1 million people lost their healthcare coverage in 2018. 4/9

I’m tired, y’all. I’m tired of the stories and the struggles and the deaths, and I’m frustrated with my party. While people suffer and die, we are dithering and fighting about what needs to be done. Too many of us are trapped in an “it can’t be done” mentality. 5/9

I’m tired of being tired. I’m going to fight for this until it is fixed or I’m dead, and I’ll take on anyone from either party who is willing to settle for anything less than coverage for EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN. No tinkering around the edges and no half-measures. 8/9

I’ll be calling out anyone running for office from either party who is content to continue to dither while people die. If you’re tired of being tired too, I’m going to need your help. I can’t fix this if I don’t win. I’m in, are you? 9/9
