“From history, from our own sense of urgency, it is very clear Medicare for All has to be the defining healthcare issue in 2018. 85% of Democrats support healthcare for all through a single-payer, Medicare for All system, so it must be a litmus test in 2020.” #nothingless | 3 | 9085 | |

Think #MedicareForAll is crazy? “Let’s talk real crazy: UnitedHealth. Their CEO Stephen Helmsley made $66 million in 2016, and UnitedHealth made $12 billion in profit under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in just two years.” @mlighty60 on why the #M4A is the only solution. | 11 | 9085 | |
