Dr. @AbdulElSayed breaks down our multi-tiered system of health insurance, which fails to provide coverage for millions and which provides substandard coverage for millions more.

#SinglePayer #MedicareForAll

[Adam Gaffney @awgaffney]

This Thursday, @SenSanders is holding a hearing on Medicare for All in the Budget Committee.

I’m excited to testify alongside @AbdulElSayed & @NNUBonnie. The need for fundamental healthcare reform has never been so urgent.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Estimates show that nearly 27 million Americans and their families lost their health care coverage when they lost their jobs due to COVID-19. Let me be clear: health care is a human right, not a job benefit. Yes. It’s time for Medicare for All.

[Medicare for All Everywhere 🍎 @M4A_Everywhere]

There are going to be some MAJOR actions at Thursday's #MedicareForAllHearing in the Senate Budget Committee!

It’s all a distraction

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Congratulations to the resident doctors at UVM, UMass and Stanford who have voted, overwhelmingly, to unionize. These doctors believe its unfair to their patients and themselves when they are forced to work up to 80 hours a week at very inadequate pay. They're right.

[DSA @DemSocialists]

Yesterday over 60 DSA chapters marched, rallied, and made some noise defending abortion rights--and many more are in motion. Now is the time to fight. https://t.co/t7c9jHdTGd

[Dorothy Roberts @DorothyERoberts]

The assault on reproductive freedom is atrocious for most people, but Black women are more likely to seek abortions, more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes, and more likely to be criminalized & imprisoned for their pregnancy outcomes. Then the state violence spreads.

[CIR/SEIU @cirseiu]

Abortion is healthcare. As physicians, we do everything we can to ensure the well-being of our patients and their families. But we cannot fulfill our obligation if we are prohibited from offering the care that our patients need and deserve.

[CIR/SEIU @cirseiu]

Congrats to our newest members - the housestaff at @StanfordHealth! Despite weeks of escalating union-busting tactics by the hospital administration, yesterday they overwhelmingly won their @NLRB election 835-214. #UnionStrong

[Andy @andy_hotelchain]

In an absolute LANDSLIDE, 1442 doctors in training (interns, residents, and fellows) at Stanford vote to join @cirseiu 835-214. Housestaff everywhere are done being exploited, and we’re on an absolute organizing tear right now.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Residents should not have to work 80 hours each week in a hospital. It was an honor to meet with residents at UVM Medical Center who are organizing a union in order to provide not only decent wages and working conditions, but to improve care for their patients.

[California Nurses Association @CalNurses]

.@SutterHealth RNs and health care workers at Mills-Peninsula Medical Center in Burlingame, CA went on strike yesterday for safe patient care.✊

When nurses are pressured to care for too many patients, it puts our patients at risk. No more! #SafeStaffingNow

Federal coverage for COVID-19 treatment and testing for the uninsured ends today.

Coverage for vaccine administration for the uninsured ends in about two weeks.

The rationing of COVID-care by ability to pay begins.
