We are long overdue for a change. #MedicareForAll

Medicare for All Would Abolish Private Insurance.
'There's No Precedent in American History' - NYT Politics

"Oh no, not my beloved private insurance, which increases 10-20% every year, costs more than my mortgage did, and doesn't cover anything until I've paid $13,000 first." - Courtney Milan @courtneymilan

Paying $400 every month just to pay $2,000 deductible when you actually see a doctor is not healthcare. It's extortion.

"These aren’t just numbers — they represent real people. The time to pass Medicare for All is now. It would save money, expand care, and stop preventable deaths." #MedicareForAll

Healthcare is a human right! #MedicareForAll #UniversalHealthcare

If you cannot afford a doctor, you are out of luck."

The US has no universal healthcare, but it does have 49 billionaires from for-profit healthcare. Connect the dots, folks.

Haiti, Iraq, and Jordan don't have universal healthcare yet, but the sentiment still stands. #MedicareForAll

A tweet from MP Arizona (@AzPetrich) saying "I saw a comment saying the U.S. is the only country in the World Cup without universal healthcare. And I was like nahhh no way that's accurate.
20 seconds on the world wide web later, THE UNITES STATES IS THE ONLY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD CUP WITHOUT UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE."

250 years, and still no universal healthcare? Let's change that! #MedicareForAll

Last month, we rallied together with NNU, Bergen/Passaic DSA, Our Revolution, Hot Girls for NJ, and the Green Party to convince Congresswoman Nellie Pou to sign onto HR3069 and recognize the importance of Medicare for All in NJ! www.universalhealthcarenj.org/rally-wrap-up/

She's got the right idea! #MedicareForAll @jayapal.house.gov

Pramila Jayapal -

I am tired of being told to be patient.
Patient while people skip prescriptions. Patient while families go bankrupt from medical bills.
Patient while the insurance industry writes the rules that govern our lives.
Patient is what they want us to be. Compliance is what they're hoping for.
I refuse.
Health care is a human right and we will not stop fighting until every single person in this country has it. We will pass Medicare For All. Full stop.

"A notable aspect of private health insurance is the absence of any reason for it to exist. It does not contain costs, expand coverage, or expedite care-it makes those all worse. Its sole function is to profit as a rent-seeking middleman between patients and providers."

So many other nations have healthcare figured out, but we're still dealing with this nightmare! #MedicareForAll #UniversalHealthcare

Medicare for All is, by double digits, the most important issue among Democrats, and a big one for Republicans, too! #MedicareForAll #SinglePayer #UniversalHealthcare www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

This! #MedicareForAll #UniversalHealthcare #SinglePayerHealthcare

A social media post with the text:
There should literally be no such thing as an "insurance denial." If a doctor prescribes something for their patient, a third party payer should not have any authority to deny that. Their job is to hold the money & to dole it out for medical needs. It's not their job to decide what those medical needs are. That's a doctor's job. And not just any doctor's job. That's specifically just your doctor's job. The person whom you authorized to actually evaluate you directly. Once you go to a doctor and your doctor says "ok you need This Medical Thing" that should be the end of the conversation. The insurer simply is tasked with dispensing the check accordingly. If our healthcare system wasn't just an inhumane cash grab perpetuated by heartless ghouls, it would operate like this. And also it would be guaranteed to everyone, but I digress.

It's time for change! #MedicareForAll

Pramila Jayapal -
The health insurance industry hopes you never hear this:
Medicare for All would save the average American family over $12,000 a year. Gone: monthly premiums. No premiums. No deductibles. No copays. No surprise bills. No "out-of-network" traps. No $500 ambulance bill months later. That is why they spend $150 million a year lobbying Congress.

Maybe we get an expanded form of Medicare available for everyone? 🤔 #MedicareForAll #UniversalHealthcare

Hey, America! Want the best healthcare plan in the world? Here's how...
New rule: Congress will replace its current top-notch government-paid health benefits with whatever plan they create for the American people...

We need to prioritize patient care! #MedicareForAll

This cartoon by John Jonik compares "Health Care" to "Health Coverage" to illustrate the difference between receiving medical treatment and navigating insurance systems.
Depicts doctors focusing on a patient's well-being and treatment.
Shows a patient overwhelmed by a deluge of paperwork from a "for-profit system," including bills, fees, and deductibles, highlighting financial barriers like exclusions, rate hikes, drug costs, and late fees.

Healthcare in the U.S. has gotten so expensive that folks are considering leaving the country for good. Read more: www.usatoday.com/story/travel... #MedicareForAll @labor4singlepayer.bsky.social

Normalized restrictions include 📍where we can get care, 🩺who can deliver it, 💊what Rx we can get, 💵how much we will pay …and it is keeping us sick and poor. #UniversalHealthcare #UniversalHealthcareNow #SinglePayer #MedicareForAllNow #singlepayerhealthcare #MedicareForAll @hca-mn.bsky.social

Just a reminder that health insurance companies don't provide healthcare.
They profit from gate-keeping healthcare.

How sick do you have to get to pay that deductible? #MedicareForAll @labor4singlepayer.bsky.social

In the States, as you know, you kind of do the math.
You're like, 'Do I want to pay a $500 deductible to go to the hospital?'
For a lot of people, that can be a really dangerous question, an equation.
Like, how sick do I have to get to go pay that $500 deductible?
