America does not have to choose between the system we have and government paying every medical bill. We can decide what basic care no American should be unable to afford.
We spend $5.3 trillion a year on healthcare, and still too many of us ask "what will it cost?" before we ask "what is wrong?"
That is $15,474 for every person in America, yet 30 million of us will go without insurance in an average month this year.
We do not need free everything or the end of private insurance. We need a floor, a clear guarantee of basic care beneath the system we already pay for.
Read the full essay, then go to senate.gov and tell your senators that Congress should write this guarantee.
We are America, and no one among us should face a diagnosis afraid of the bill.
I was hospitalized in Ireland for complications of Covid. The bill: zero even tho I was an American. In this country it would cost thousands unless there was expensive insurance. The health cost situation in the U.S. is just cruel and disgraceful.
This would insure people got regular screenings, vaccinations and other preventative measures like blood pressure, cholesterol checks, etc. We can pass this right away, and then continue to press for Medicare for All. The big uphill battle against Medicare for All are the drug companies and the Health Insurance companies. They don’t want to cut into all those juicy profits!
This sounds like a good starting point. Is there anyone in Congress who is ready to write, promote, file, and bring this up for a vote?
