#health care policy

[viewwrangler]

And so it begins, even before the beginning.

Basically, one more year of people being able to barely afford health care, and then the Rethugnicans can have their dream of more poorer people getting sick and dying. (Most of those people living in states that voted heavily for them, one might add.)

The question is, how long after that will they kill Affordable Care altogether? Likely the efforts will at least start with the new budget year, in October 2025.

(Side note: depending on how the House winds up, I fully expect that within the next two years, the US will go into official default on its debt -- especially if, by some miracle, the Democrats manage to retain the House. And what that will do to the world economy, I don't want to think about.)

AN OPEN LETTER to THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Pass H.R. 6270, the State-Based Universal Health Care Act!

371 so far! Help us get to 500 signers!

I strongly urge the Congressmember to support and help pass H.R. 6270, the State-Based Universal Health Care Act, introduced by Rep. Ro Khanna of California. This bill helps states test universal health plans that could be a model for a national plan - a Universal, Simple, and Affordable (USA) plan. A USA plan will drastically reduce administrative overhead, freeing billions of dollars for our health care and general welfare. With your support, states can save money and provide health care for all their residents. How H.R. 6270 moves us toward health care that is universal, simple, and affordable (USA): Mandates that participating states guarantee healthcare coverage for at least 95% of residents in the first 5 years, thus reducing the uninsured and underinsured populations to less than 5% (currently 30% in most states). Requires any state-based plan to have benefits equal to or greater than those received by beneficiaries of federal healthcare programs. Allows states to cooperate on multi-state plans. Section 1332 of the ACA does not. Enables states to integrate Medicare funds into a state plan. Section 1332 does not. This is critically important for equity. Please work to pass this bill, and then get to work passing Medicare For All. Nothing else will fully solve our healthcare crisis.
