Expand Health Care Coverage; Don’t Shrink It

Once again, Senate Republican leaders are pushing their incredibly unpopular and destructive plan to take health care from millions of Americans to line the pockets of corporate CEOs. Working people will continue to oppose transferring wealth from workers to Wall Street under the guise of health care.

Republican leaders in the Senate should stop trying to find ways to make health care worse.

The latest plan is yet another attempt to deny health care to people who need it to give tax breaks to those who don’t.

Insurance premiums and other out-of-pocket costs will spike, public health emergencies like the opioid epidemic will get worse, rural health care will suffer and older Americans will get kicked out of nursing homes.

Working families want better health care, and that’s what Congress should be focused on.

62%: That’s the growing portion of the American public who want a universal health care option, like Medicare for all.
