On Memorial Day We Remember

May 28, 2019

In solidarity,  Mike Hersh for Alan, Dr. Bill, Dan, Janis, Deb, Kimberly, Bryan, Mike F., and Shayna—your PDA national team.

Remembering the 40 Thousand Who
Die Each Year From Lack of Healthcare

When Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) launched in 2004, we made peace and Medicare For All (MFA) top priorities. We still live in a so-called civilized nation in which an estimated 40,000 of us die each year due to lack of healthcare. This is unconscionable. PDA will not relent until ALL of us are guaranteed high quality healthcare. Nothing less.

We’re winning on the merits, making our powerful case for the Medicare For All Act in the House and Senate. We must have as many House cosponsors as we can get to force a floor vote and pass the Medicare For All Act.

Call Congress at 202-858-1717 and Click Here to tell your Representative to Cosponsor Rep. Jayapal’s and Rep. Debbie Dingell’s Medicare For All Act. Also, Click Here to tell your Senators to cosponsor Bernie Sanders’s MFA legislation.

Last month, the House Rules Committee held historic hearings on Medicare For All. Last Wednesday, the House Budget Committee followed suit. The House Ways and Means Committee will convene hearings soon. We’re making historic progress. The public is on our side.

Real Clear Politics reported:

Americans continue to express broad backing for “Medicare for All,” a term of art embraced by liberal activists and leaders, including most of the Democratic candidates in the large field of 2020 presidential hopefuls. This support, documented in a new survey from RealClear Opinion Research, is especially pronounced among Democrats (82%), but is also strong among Independents, who favor it by a 2-to-1 margin. Even Republicans are evenly split.
