Medicare for All means Medicare for ALL — not some, or a few, or most.
Health care is a human right.
Every other major country recognizes that.
It's long past time the United States does as well.

Illinois Republicans like Rep. Mary Miller, Rep. Mike Bost, and Rep. Darin LaHood just voted to take away health care from 13.7 million people — the majority working people simply without insurance.
Why? All to give Trump’s friends at Mar-a-Lago another tax break. It’s shameful.

Let’s be clear. This isn’t law enforcement. It’s regime enforcement. Charging a sitting Congresswoman for doing her oversight job at an ICE facility is a calculated intimidation tactic. This is how police states are built. Criminalize scrutiny. Punish dissent. Dare others to speak up.
DOJ says it has charged N.J. congresswoman with assaulting law enforcement at ICE facility
The interim U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey said Rep. LaMonica McIver is accused of “assaulting, impeding and interfering with law enforcement.”

If Trump is serious about making real change rather than just issuing a press release, he will support legislation I will introduce to ensure we pay no more for prescription drugs than people in other major countries.
If we come together, we can get it passed in a few weeks.

The disastrous Republican reconciliation bill would cut Medicaid & the Affordable Care Act by $715 billion – throwing 13.7 million Americans off of Medicaid & the health insurance they currently have – in order to give a $1.2 trillion tax break to the top 1%.
