Medicare For All [View all]

The MAGA Republicans want to cut federal programs and "save money" by throwing the sick, the hungry, the disabled, and the elderly out in the streets. If they really wanted to save money, they would support Medicare For All. If we had Universal Health Care/Medicare For All we would save an estimated $450 billion dollars a year (this information is from an article in the Lancet from back in February of 2020. I do not immediately have a link.).

If the MAGA Republicans are serious about saving money, they would support Medicare For All. It would also save an estimated 68,000 lives a year and vastly improve the health and quality of life of all Americans. The billionaire oligarchs have all the money in the world but apparently they want more, and at the expense of the American people. They really need to be stopped.
