Hi Bernie!

Wondering how you plan to differentiate your “Medicare for All” plan from the healthcare plans of the competition?

How are you ensuring that your plan helps the most Americans?

My Medicare for All legislation, which has 15 cosponsors in the Senate, is the most comprehensive health care legislation being discussed. This legislation makes it clear that our current system is dysfunctional and needs to be totally reformed. We are now spending almost twice as much per capita on health care as do the people of any other nation — despite the fact that we have tens of millions of Americans who are uninsured or underinsured with high copayments and deductibles. The United States must join every other major country on earth and guarantee health care to ALL as a right, not a privilege. That means we cover all health care needs, including dental without out-of-pocket expenses. Under a Medicare for All program, people can go to any doctor or hospital they want. Further, this program will substantially LOWER the cost of health care for most Americans because this system is not designed to make huge profits for insurance or drug companies.
