The American people deserve better than a cruel, corporate-run health care system that bankrupts people for getting sick. We need Medicare for All.

To everyone in NYC but ESPECIALLY healthy people & people under 40 (bc from what I’m observing that’s who needs to hear this again):
PLEASE stop crowding bars, restaurants, and public spaces right now. Eat your meals at home.
If you are healthy, you could be spreading COVID.

#WeNeedBernie bc he is the candidate who understands the gravity of this moment. He has a plan to strengthen the public institutions that've been deeply eroded by years of corporate greed and profiteering. He speaks with moral clarity and profound detail in what needs to be done.

I did the math: a full battery of coronavirus testing costs at minimum $1,331.
I also did the legal research: the Administration has the authority to make testing free for every American TODAY.
I secured a commitment from a high-level Trump official that they’d actually do it.

Want to know one major reason why South Korea has had stellar rapid response and quickly produced & scaled up to 10k+ tests/day?
They have a single payer, #MedicareForAll system.
We don’t.
Please remember why it’s so important for us to fight for healthcare as a human right.
