Alex Eaton is running for Congress in Southern Minnesota and fighting for universal healthcare, $500/month UBI to all American adults, no income tax on the first $80K, and universal pre-K. www.alexeaton.org
Every time I bring up universal healthcare, the first question is about taxes. Fair. My answer: cut taxes on working people. The fight isn't with you — it's with the insurance companies. And universal pre-K? About 1/12 of the military budget. The money is there. alexeaton.org
Running for Congress in Southern MN means actually listening. I sat down with Thomas in Worthington — working, no health insurance — and Jonathan, who just wants an affordable life, a home, a family. Healthcare costs too much here. I have a plan to fix it. 🗳️ Primary Aug 11 · General Nov 3
Health care costs more here than any nation — and delivers less. Millions of Americans buy prescriptions abroad just to survive. I'm Alex Eaton, running for Congress in Southern MN to fix it. 🗳️ DFL Primary Aug 11 | General Nov 3 👉 alexeaton.org #AlexEaton #MNPolitics #HealthCareForAll
He has insurance. He still drives to Mexico once a year to buy his arthritis medication. Full retail. Cash. Cheaper than using the coverage he paid into for 40 years. That's not one family making a strange choice. That's a system built for somebody else.
Met Micah in Adrian. Farms, starting a drone business, no health insurance — the math doesn't work for him. His grandparents drive into Mexico for a year of prescriptions. Retail price. Still cheaper than their deductible here. That's not a free market. That's a broken one.
Mile 85, Sherburn MN. Met Angel: she pays $8,500/yr in premiums with $7,500 deductibles EACH. $23K before insurance kicks in. Too "rich" for Medicaid, too broke to get sick. Lifelong Republican. Her words: "Nobody is working for us." That's why I'm walking 277 miles. 🚶
Mile 95 of my 277-mile walk across southern Minnesota. Today's detour: the beautiful city of Winona. 🚶 I'm the only candidate in this race fighting for universal health care. Join the walk: alexeaton.org
Medica up 30%. UCare up 27%. Blue Cross up 18%. That's the status quo — and the politicians telling us to wait are defending it. I'm Alex Eaton, running for Congress in Southern Minnesota to fight for single payer. One program, one set of rules, covering everybody. alexeaton.org
We already run a single-payer system in America. It's called Medicare. Government pays the bill. Seniors pick their own doctors. 9 in 10 rate it excellent or good. Every family deserves what seniors already have. Alex Eaton, running for Congress in southern MN 🌾 alexeaton.org
Real voters. Real struggles. Real talk. 🎤 'I want to be a homeowner someday, but it's just hard.' We hear you. Healthcare costs 2x what Canada pays. Housing feels out of reach. Starting a family feels like a luxury. It doesn't have to be this way. Alex Eaton for Congress — Southern Minnesota 🇺🇸
His grandparents drive to Mexico every year to buy prescriptions — because paying full retail price there is STILL cheaper than their insurance deductible here. 💊 We're the richest country in the world. We can afford health care for everybody. 👉 Support the campaign: alexeaton.org
Universal Healthcare's Total Eclipse of the Heart ❤️🌑 No one should have to choose between paying the bills and seeing a doctor. It's time to put people before profits and make healthcare a right for every American. #UniversalHealthcare #HealthcareForAll #MedicareForAll #SinglePayer #Politics
The biggest scam isn't the one that gets you arrested. It's the one that's perfectly legal. $250M stolen from kids' meals. $76B/yr overpaid to insurers. Half a billion in taxes for billionaire stadiums. Same victim: you. Gov't should do a few big things — too simple to steal from. ▶️ alexeaton.org
I'm sick of Democrats who can't say what we stand for. Running for Congress in Southern MN to fight for the working class. alexeaton.org
Democrats can't articulate what we're fighting for. I can. I'm running for Congress in Southern MN to pass 4 things: single-payer healthcare, no income tax on the first $80K ($40K single), $500/mo UBI for every adult, and universal pre-K. www.alexeaton.org
