Medicare For All... It's Time

Written by Stacey Khizder

Healthcare is a right, not a privilege. I never understood why the GOP had an issue with determining healthcare as a right when their entire platform preaches "pro-life". It never made sense to me why moderate Democrats don't see single-payer healthcare as the only viable option for Americans. I certainly cannot explain why mainstream cable media completely ignores the healthcare crisis in the United States. Could it be for monetary gain?

Medicare For All would make healthcare equally affordable and accessible for all Americans. For the first time, Medicare For All is getting its own town hall. In the Trump era, there is zero room to sugar coat the healthcare crisis like it is on cable news. Unfiltered, real, and honest, the Medicare For All town hall will be available exclusively on these four mediums: The Young Turks, NowThis, ATTN:, and the Senator Bernie Sanders Facebook page. 

The GOP and the Trump administration are actively working to take away existing healthcare from 20+ million people and make it even more unaccessible. American healthcare costs twice as much for every person as it does in any other first world country. With this, the American healthcare system is currently dysfunctional. No person should have to chose between money and staying alive. 

It's time we talk about it. Join us this Tuesday on January 23rd via livestream, or, in person. The event is first come, first serve, and we'd love to see you rock your favorite TYT and Bernie gear!
