The national coalition of unions demanding healthcare that works for all. Join the movement! #MedicareForAll #singlepayer #1u #m4a

No HMOs. No “out-of-network” denials/fees. No co-pays. No crowdfunders for medical treatment. No medical bankruptcies. No skipping medical care because it’s unaffordable. Just #MedicareForAll. Another world is possible.

Time for a new normal. #MedicareForAll

[Labor Campaign For Single Payer @LaborforSPayer]

Economists Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman did the math.
Replacing our current system with #MedicareForAll would result in a net pay raise of thousands of dollars for most workers, even after factoring in the additional taxes needed.

Canadian explains what accessing health care in Canada would cost Americans & it sounds a lot better than accessing health care in America, tbh. Why do we have to visit The Great White North to access health care this affordable? Time for #MedicareForAll

If Mexico can do this and Canada did this in 1972, so can the U.S. Time for #MedicareForAll

Yet we let 68,000 Americans die this way. Every. Single. Year. This has to change. #MedicareForAll.

[Labor Campaign For Single Payer @LaborforSPayer]

Really, who at this point is defending private, for-profit health care except people trying to make money off of other people’s misfortune? #MedicareForAll

Read the @PublicHealth statement: https://t.co/xAHQu5WiVz

She gets it. @PublicHealth has determined that the best, most efficient, and most equitable way to improve medicare and the health care system would be to expand it into a universal, single-payer health system.

2/3 of Americans believe the gov't. should ensure that everyone has health care coverage.
Only 7% of Americans think the government has no role to play in providing health care.
If most of us want to see all of us covered, why don’t we have #MedicareForAll?

[Labor Campaign For Single Payer @LaborforSPayer]

We could save 68,000 lives every year by switching to a single payer health care system, according to a 2021 study. Why haven’t we?
#MedicareForAll, #MedicareForAllNow

[Labor Campaign For Single Payer @LaborforSPayer]

A 2021 study concluded that switching to single payer health care would save $450 billion dollars annually. Why are we unnecessarily spending $450 billion every year?

1 in 6 US adults delay seeking medical care, or didn't seek it at all, due to cost.

How much more costly is it when their illnesses reach the point of requiring emergency medical intervention?

How much less would it be if they had affordable medical care?

#MedicareForAll

[Labor Campaign For Single Payer @LaborforSPayer]

Despite marginally shorter hospital wait times (about 27 minutes less for an emergency room visit), Americans die 4 years younger on average than people in comparable countries with single payer health care.

Being able to access and afford health care when they need it is far and away the number one concern shared by most Americans. Isn’t it about time something was done about this? #MedicareForAll

[Labor Campaign For Single Payer @LaborforSPayer]

No one should be financially ruined because of cancer. No other Western country has a healthcare system that bankrupts people because they are sick. The system must be changed. #MedicareForAll.

[Labor Campaign For Single Payer @LaborforSPayer]

@realDonaldTrump has made it clear: we can either have a government that provides #MedicareForAll or a government that launches a war with Iran. Which one would you rather see fully funded?

[Labor Campaign For Single Payer @LaborforSPayer]

Agree #MedicareForAll

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

Pope Leo this week called universal health coverage a "moral imperative."

He also said: “Health cannot be a luxury for the few,” it is “an essential condition for social peace.”

[NYSNA @nynurses]

NYSNA celebrates Transgender Day of Visibility and remains committed to health equity for trans people and the LGBTQ+ community. Nurses and healthcare workers must fight to ensure every patient who needs it can access safe, quality, gender-affirming healthcare!

[Labor Campaign For Single Payer @LaborforSPayer]

We spend twice as much on healthcare compared with wealthy nations of a similar size, yet the US has a lower life expectancy than those other nations.

Make it make sense. #MedicareForAll
