But we only have around 24 people serving in Congress with science degrees, so it is no wonder that we have trouble getting science into those rooms. 4/

Healthcare happens to be the number one issue on people's minds when they go to vote. And they should be worried. The assault on our healthcare system has been non-stop since the start of this administration. 1/

I have been an advocate for as #SinglePayer healthcare system since 2009, and I've only grown stronger in my support over time. I've seen the devastation to patients when they cannot access care. 2/

I am in favor of a transition. Step one is to secure the Affordable Care Act so that all those who gained coverage under the law are protected immediately. 3/

Concurrently, we would drop #Medicare eligibility down to age 55, then gradually lower the age until all are covered. The transition would be written into law, not left up to future Congresses to tinker with. 4/

That way, patients, business, and the economy would have time to adjust. Everyone would know when the changes were coming. Since healthcare constitutes 1/6 of our economy, it is important that we make sure things stay stable. 5/
