“Medicare for America,” or “Medicare for those who want it,” falls short of covering all Americans and reducing healthcare costs.
Medicare for All is the ONLY legislation that guarantees healthcare from birth till death.
Ashley Fox retweeted
If you think doctors are the problem when it comes to healthcare costs…check this:
Physician reimbursement ($/RVU) is DOWN 12%
Meanwhile…
Health insurance premiums are UP 146%
Inflation is UP 65%
Medical school debt is UP 72%
Healthcare administrator roles are UP 156%
The math is not mathing🤨
It's annual paycut season for doctors, brought to us by @CMSGov…
And, drumroll…it's a cut. Again.
-2.31% for most of the house of medicine in 2027 on the RVU conversion factor (to $32.63/RVU).
Adjusted for inflation, that's:
A one-year 4.7% decrease,
A 10-year cut of 32.6%,
A 20-year cut of 46%.
Yikes.
Thanks, @RobertKennedyJr.

The shift in the political landscape has reopened a door for Medicare-for-All — now supported by 66% of Americans, and even a third of Republicans.
While other reform options are also under discussion, M4A would (uniquely) deal with the full spectrum of our healthcare woes.

When there are no other options for patients and doctors work for the government they can no longer advocate for their patients as they will directed to follow government approved guidelines and treatments. Most dangerous thing is a Medicare for all system. Nothing good will come of it. I’m not sure why any doctor would think this is a good idea

Medicare for All is what a record-breaking 66% of Americans want, per Kaiser Family Foundation.
It would save $1 trillion and 114,000 lives a year, per Yale School of Public Health.
No more tinkering around the edges. Let’s get it done.

#News - Michigan Sen -Elect Abdul El-Sayed on CNN says he’ll support Md Sen Chris Van Hollen for Senate Majority Leader if Van Hollen decides to challenge Sen Chuck Schumer. El-Sayed says Van Hollen “would be amazing” in that role.

Hi Ken.
As you’re well aware, the tax structures will be set once the bill is passed — and a number of illustrative tax structures which meet the requirements laid out in the bill have been presented in various New York Health Act studies showing savings.
As you’re also well aware, NYHA would save New York billions each year.
And, as you’re aware, over 92% of New Yorkers would save money.
I’m also well aware that you work at a corporate-funded think tank, paid to oppose policies that help working class New Yorkers, and your questions will be disingenuous.

Your periodic reminder that passing the New York Heath Act would free up $13.6 billion in NYC alone, that could be used towards funding universal childcare — while covering every New Yorker under universal healthcare: nyhcampaign.org/healthequals…

“Donald, if you're watching here, we'll put your name on it. You get to be the American president who finally guaranteed health care for every single American.”
@mehdirhasan asks Dr. @AbdulElSayed what he’d do on his first day in office.
His answer? Trumpcare for All.

Federal healthcare cuts, skyrocketing premiums, AI killing jobs…
The New York Health Act is the answer to New York’s healthcare crisis.

If you’re angry about Haley Stevens selling out Americans to Donald Trump so he can keep his Senate majority, then volunteer for Abdul El-Sayed.

I joined "The Beat with Ari Melber" recently to discuss the rising fortunes of Medicare-for-All — and what's behind it.
So glad for early voting in NYS! (And loving the sticker design). If you didn’t early vote, don’t forget to vote on Election Day (Tues Nov 3rd)!

Gaza's death toll is growing.
As we head to the polls, we need to tell our representatives: no military aid, no weapons sales, no exceptions.
A ceasefire in which children go hungry and pregnant women cannot get care is not peace.
