• Health care should be a right. Not a privilege.
• We must pass Medicare for All. Now.
• Lowering prescription drug prices is essential

Let’s be absolutely clear. Health care is a right – not a privilege. And in the richest nation in the world, we must have universal health care. There has never been a better time in history to move towards Medicare for All. But until we reach that goal, there is so much we can do. 

 With President Biden in the White House, we must expand medicare coverage. Now. That means expanding Medicare to cover dental, hearing, and vision care. 

 Next, we must leverage the power of our Medicare and Medicaid systems to negotiate the price of prescription drugs. Let’s face it, the price of life-saving medications is out of control. With prices skyrocketing over the past decade, it’s pushed individuals into poverty and bankruptcy in order to pay for the care of a loved one. We have a moral obligation to lower drug and other health care costs so everyone can afford coverage.
