Medicare for all is not some crazy idea.
It's supported by 70% of the American people.
It's co-sponsored by more than 100 members of Congress.
It's what we must do to end the international disgrace of being the only major country not to make health care a right.
We need to provide immediate legal status for the young people eligible for the DACA program and develop a humane policy for those seeking asylum. The demonization of undocumented immigrants in this country must end and we must move to comprehensive immigration reform.
The top 10 corporate executives in America saw their combined compensation skyrocket to $1.8 billion in 2017. Ten people.
Meanwhile we have 40 million people living in poverty. That kind of inequality should not exist in a modern society.
Social Security is the most successful government program in our nation’s history. We must expand it so that every American can retire with the dignity and respect they deserve.
A moral society does not give tax breaks to billionaires, and then cut back on the needs of struggling seniors or people with disabilities. We must get our priorities straight and expand Social Security.
We cannot continue a dysfunctional healthcare system which costs us about twice as much per capita as any other major country and leaves nearly 30 million Americans uninsured. We must guarantee health care for everyone through a Medicare for All program.
