Healthcare is a Human Right
|
Progressives in Congress have re-introduced the Medicare for All Act. If passed, this bill would finally end the international embarrassment of the so-called “richest nation on earth” failing to provide basic healthcare coverage for its people. Medicare for All means no premiums, no co-pays and no deductibles. And it means price-gouging corporations will not get to profit off our sickness. Medicare for All is common sense applied to health insurance. We know how difficult it is currently for physicians who must fill out numerous forms to enable their patients to collect payment for valid medical services, to be able to collect payment for being treated by a physician. There has been a flood of early retirements by Physicians who are tired of being insurance agents, using their valuable time to worry about coverage for their patients instead of spending time caring for them.
This is the result of an “out of control” private profit making healthcare industry. Medicare for All isn’t radical, it’s common sense. And even though Republicans control the House of Representatives, and our President said he would veto the bill, there’s never been more Medicare for All supporters in office. We have no choice but to build support and march forward for single payer Medicare for All.
