Friends,

We believe access to quality health care is a fundamental right -- not a privilege for the wealthy few.

But Bernie Sanders’ Medicare For All plan is bad policy and bad politics -- and will help get Donald Trump re-elected.

Our democracy celebrates choice. The same way you choose who you’d like to represent you, you should be able to choose the health care coverage you want or need.

Let’s be clear: John believes America deserves a health care system where NOBODY falls through the cracks, regardless of socioeconomic status. But instead of mandating the same uniform health care program for every American, we think YOU should get to choose the plan that works best for you.

So look, if you agree that Americans deserve a choice when it comes to health care, make a donation right now so John can present these ideas to the American public at the televised debates:

Right now, nearly every Democratic candidate for President has thrown their support behind “Medicare for All.”

“Medicare for All” seeks to address a broken health care system where too many Americans are still uninsured, or simply can’t afford the skyrocketing price of prescription drugs or treatment.

We too believe in a universal health care system where basic medical treatment isn’t reserved for the privileged few. But here’s what the other Presidential candidates don’t want you to know:

“Medicare for All” would:

• Cause 150 million Americans to lose their current employer-backed insurance, and forfeit the right to select their own plan.
• Cost $32 trillion over the next 10 years to implement -- and we currently have no way to pay for it.
• Result in 1 to 2 MILLION people currently employed in the health care space to lose their jobs.

John has a different idea. We can provide high-quality care to everyone and replace our outdated system of employer-sponsored insurance.

How? We create a new public health care plan for all Americans under the age of 65 that would protect the reforms delivered by the Affordable Care Act, including guaranteed coverage of preexisting conditions and essential health benefits.

Individuals would be automatically enrolled in the new public plan, with no complicated procedures to follow. However, anyone would have the option to opt-out and receive a tax credit to buy their own insurance policy if they choose.

Folks over 65 would transition into Medicare, which we will protect and strengthen to ensure that all seniors get the care they need.

By keeping private insurance options, we can protect the jobs of the millions of health care professionals who currently work in the private sector, and also allow families and employers to purchase supplemental coverage to cover additional health needs.

John understands that any solution to our health care crisis MUST be both universal and sustainable. And we believe we can lower the cost of health care significantly while putting the government on a responsible fiscal path.

This plan is both radical and pragmatic. And we need your help to present it to the American public.

Let’s send John to the debates so he can discuss real solutions to our health care crisis. Make a donation today:
