NEWS: Sanders, Jayapal, Dingell More Than 120 Colleagues in House and Senate Reintroduce Medicare for All
Press Release
Issues: Health Insurance
"The American people understand, as I do, that health care is a human right, not a privilege. It is not acceptable to me, nor to the American people, that over 85 million people today are either uninsured or underinsured. As we speak, there are millions of people who would like to go to a doctor but cannot afford to do so. That is an outrage. In America, your health and your longevity should not be dependent on your bank account or your stock portfolio. After all the lives that we lost to this terrible pandemic, it is clearer now, perhaps more than it has ever been before, that we must act to end the international embarrassment of the United States being the only major country on earth to not guarantee health care to all."
