The voices of med students on the frontline of care in the Commonwealth (pictured here from Tufts + BU) are critically important in the fight for #MedicareForAll. Kudos + TY to all who are at the State House today to testify in support of the @Medicare4AllMA bills. #mapoli

The American health care system is rife with inequities that have no place in the richest, most powerful nation on earth. Today I am proud to add my name to the new #MedicareForAll bill being introduced by @RepJayapal because I believe it is a strong roadmap for our path forward.
