The grassroots movement for Medicare for All has—neighbor by neighbor, conversation by conversation—grown support to more than 70 percent of Americans. That number, combined with new leadership and a new Medicare for All caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives, means that now is an unprecedented time to change health care in America. Now is the time to change health care so that all Americans can receive affordable and equitable health care.
U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Seattle) has introduced a new Medicare for All bill in the House of Representatives, HR 1384, and we need to call our lawmakers to ask them to sign on as co-sponsors. It only takes a moment and it’s a way you can let your representative know that this matters to you.
Join us! Call your congressional representatives and demand that they co-sponsor the Medicare for All Act. Show up at your local Medicare for All organizing party (medicare4all.org/actions)!
We need major change to our existing system. One that will make it value people over profits. Let’s stand together to win Medicare for All!

No! Not now, not ever!
The current safety net structure of Medicare shall suffice. It should also be yanked from any ILLEGAL INVADER and their spawn to better help my fellow Americans.
Be productive, keep your body as healthy as possible (read: stop eating like pigs) and pay for your own GD health care like the rest of productive members of a free society. I am not your keeper!
Finally, I call BS about 70% of the nation wanting MFA. Thats just not true in my well connected space that deals with people from coast to coast, even here in CA.

I realize that calling it “Medicare” makes political sense by making it seem like just a minor extension of a successful, existing program. But, how can you call something “Medicare” if you have never paid into it? The current beneficiaries of Medicare have spent a lifetime paying into it, while under the new program beneficiaries will be entitled to it immediately, and many of the new proposed beneficiaries will pay nothing at all, and will be subsidized by the paying beneficiaries. Calling it “Medicare” is just a “bait and switch” trap.
