For the first time IN HISTORY, I have a commitment for hearings on
#MedicareForAll. We’re one step closer to all Americans having access to quality, affordable health care. https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/democrats-plan-to-hold-hearings-on-medicare-for-all/2019/01/03/7051eccc-0f6c-11e9-84fc-d58c33d6c8c7_story.html?utm_term=.6ea10070238c …Show this thread -
A $5,751 bill for getting an ice pack at a hospital. A $236 pregnancy test. $60 for ibuprofen at the local children’s hospital. Too many Americans have to resort to crowd-funding to pay for their outrageous medical bills. Our health care system must change.

Did you know that Massachusetts General Hospital alone must employ 300 billing clerks while Toronto General, a hospital which is roughly the same size, employs 3? Our healthcare system is convoluted and focused on making profits, not healing the sick. We need

Joe Donnelly, Democrat from Indiana: "When you talk Medicare for All...you start losing the people in my state." Data: 55% of all voters in Indiana support

Even with the Affordable Care Act, our health care system still needs fixing. There are nearly 30 million Americans who still don’t have health insurance and plenty more who have insurance but can’t actually afford the rising cost of health care. We need

“Access” to health care still sees more than half of Americans delaying or forgoing care because they can’t afford it. “Access” still sees tens of thousands of people dying because they lack health insurance. “Access” isn’t good enough. We need

Progressives gained some important ground negotiating around yesterday’s rules package. One was that
@SpeakerPelosi has agreed to seat *every* House committee with 40% Progressive Caucus members. The other:@RepJayapal &@MarkPocan secured 1st-ever hearings on#MedicareForAll. https://twitter.com/repjayapal/status/1080890507352518658 … -
This is a huge step forward. We have to push on the inside while continuing to build support for this on the outside. Let’s make

Many people think Single Payer
#MedicareForAll is the same as Medicare. It's not. A single-payer would end premiums, deductibles, copays & coinsurance.#M4A is a bill in Congress - We Need M4A Single-Payer Healthcare!

In order for
#PayGo to go into effect, it needs to pass the House. If some 18 Dems vote no, it fails. The vote will take place on Thursday. Will enough progressives have the courage to vote no on the first roadblock to#MedicareForAll,#GreenNewDeal &#CollegeForAll? Let's see.https://twitter.com/ddayen/status/1080291053930856448 …

Since my insurance went bye bye, I have to figure out how to come up with $138 to pay for a prescription. One of the six I will need this month. Maybe I can sell my blood.

In the United States we spend more per capita on healthcare than similar nations, and we get mediocre results. The root of our problem is the profit motive in healthcare. Help build a movement strong enough to win

Bad news:
#PayGo passed Good news: House will hold 1st hearings on#MedicareForAll Commitments made to waive#PayGo More recognition that austerity is bad Dr. King once said: “Let us realize the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” Keep bending it -
Working with Rep. Mark Pocan, I secured commitments from leadership that PayGo will not be used to block priorities like
#MedicareforAll during this session. And don't forget, Speaker Pelosi is supporting our push to hold the first-ever Congressional hearings on Medicare for All.Show this thread -
We will lose 5 years on this issue because of the what the
#DNC & the#MSM did to Bernie’s campaign in 2016. So many lives unnecessarily lost; people’s homes and livelihoods. Yet the same players & the same media persists. Change is coming#MedicareForAll#FridayMotivationpic.twitter.com/y36zpRc35L

This rules package included
#PayGo which will make it even harder to pass important legislation like#MedicareForAll Almost every Democrat voted for it. Just another reason why an independent party to the Left of the Democrats is so important.#DemExit#GreenEnterhttps://twitter.com/thehill/status/1080985682854723586 …

Does anyone else get really tired of explaining to the "status quo enablers" how
#MedicareForAll will save them money, that other countries aren't clamoring to change to our system and the only reason some are against it is either ignorance or greed?
