Health Care For All Now!

Further to the Schatz post here is Tulsi on this.  We can expect Senator Hirono to weigh in similarly tomorrow if not before:

Michael,

As I am sure you know, Republicans passed a bill yesterday in the House that begins to strip away access to healthcare for millions of Americans, while providing huge giveaways to big pharma and insurance companies. In addition to the age-tax that hurts our seniors, severe cuts to Medicaid, and weakening provisions ensuring those with pre-existing conditions will be covered, 7 million veterans would lose access to health care tax credits. 

Here’s what we know: Our healthcare system is broken. It needs systemic reform. However, the AHCA legislation would only make things worse. What we need is real change that will truly put the health and wellbeing of people over corporate profits. This is why I support the Medicare for All legislation (HR 676).

Will you sign on as a citizen co-sponsor to Medicare for All?

Medicare and Medicaid help nearly 130 million Americans, including 570,000 people in Hawaiʻi, access affordable quality health care. We want everyone to be able to access care through these programs. There is no reason why the health care access available to citizens of so many other developed nations cannot be available to ours.

In order to make this kind of serious change, we need to seriously raise our voices together. As we have learned in the past, the road to improving our health care system is challenging. That’s why it is so important that we act now. Please consider joining us in this critical effort to improve our health care -- not hurt it. Sign on as a citizen co-sponsor.

As always, thank you for your dedication.

Aloha,

Tulsi
