Rally Against Republican Health Plans and Fight Like Hell for Medicare for All! - 28:53
Rally Against Republican Health Care Plans that go Straight for the Jugular
and Would Leave Us Hemorrhaging and Fight Like Hell for Medicare for
All!
Whether the Republicans pass a version of TrumpCare, or
work to sabotage Obamacare one thing is perfectly clear that health care
should be a universal right, whether called single-payer or Medicare for
all, and that until we implement such a system our lives are in jeopardy.
So, Building Bridges is broadcasting an Emergency Health Care
Rally” THIS IS NOT A DRILL which was held in NYC recently sponsored by Metro NY Health Care for All and Local 1199. Tune into the rally and listen to
health care professionals and we the people as we mobilize for all of us to
call on our Senators and Representatives to oppose bills in Congress that
would gut the Affordable Care Act, decimate Medicaid, place Medicare’s
finances in jeopardy, end family planning funding, and weaken or eliminate
important consumer protections in health insurance. Taken as a whole, these
bills will blow-up our insurance markets, threaten the viability of many of
our hospitals and community health centers, and leave many millions
uninsured.
WE CANNOT LET THIS HAPPEN!
Listen as we mobilize for
“Medicare for All,” a system in which a single public or quasi-public agency
organizes health care financing, but the delivery of care remains largely in
private hands. Under a single-payer system, all residents of the U.S. would
be covered for all medically necessary services, including doctor, hospital,
preventive, long-term care, mental health, dental, reproductive health care,
vision, prescription drug and medical supply costs.
The program would be
funded by the savings obtained from replacing today’s inefficient,
profit-oriented, multiple insurance payers with a single streamlined, nonprofit, public payer, and by modest new taxes based on ability to pay. Premiums would disappear; 95 % of all households would save money. Patients would no longer face financial barriers to care such as co-pays and
deductibles, and would regain free choice of doctor and hospital. Doctors would regain autonomy over patient care.
Attend our virtual rally
and together we’ll fight for the Medicare for All Act, H.R. 676, which would
establish an American single-payer health insurance system.
