We are only as safe as the least-insured among us. Today, I am introducing emergency legislation with @RepJayapal to: ✔️ Empower Medicare to cover treatment for the uninsured ✔️ Cover all out-of-pocket costs for those with insurance during this pandemic https://t.co/wAfyEIPLkW — PolitiTweet.org

My friend Rep. Tlaib is right. At a time when hand-washing is saving lives, no one should be denied water—period. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

If today we had the same level of inequality we had forty years ago, the bottom 90% of American households would be earning $12,000 more every year. $120,000 per decade. Do not tell me we cannot afford to cover the paychecks of every worker during this horrific pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

It is outrageous that in the richest country in the history of the world, people are going hungry. Congress must radically increase food assistance programs and offer grocery delivery options to ensure all people are able to eat safely during this crisis. https://t.co/zkvsGFdHOA — PolitiTweet.org

How the hell are you supposed to wash your hands during a pandemic when your water has been shut off? We must require utility companies to restore services to all who have been disconnected, and prohibit all new shutoffs until this crisis is over. https://t.co/bfY5eRO2hk — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

To support the American people during this pandemic, Congress must: 💵 Guarantee 100% of all workers' paychecks 💊 Empower Medicare to pay all out-of-pocket costs 🏦 Provide $2,000 a month for all 🤒 Give paid sick leave to all workers 🏡 Suspend rent and mortgage payments — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

This crisis makes clear what we have known for decades. If we are sincere about the needs of ordinary Americans, we must pass a single-payer national program to guarantee health care for all Americans. https://t.co/0T5WCvUqy6 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The president is acting out of political self-interest during a pandemic. I believe Congress must provide leadership instead. Here is how: https://t.co/fSKgsyFz6a — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

It is unacceptable that African Americans are getting sick and dying from the coronavirus at such disproportionately high rates. We must solve the horrific racial disparities in health that we have in this country. https://t.co/dtrCYwCqfT — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Amazon workers have tested positive for coronavirus—which may live for up to 24 hours on cardboard—at 50 warehouses. In my view, failures by Amazon to keep workers safe are not only putting their employees at risk. They place the entire country at risk. https://t.co/rBsFOC9Hca — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

At a time when millions of people are losing their jobs and their health insurance, the United States government must guarantee that you will have all of the health care you need. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

During this pandemic, know your rights! For most renters, you cannot be evicted or charged penalties for not paying rent. For most homeowners, you can request a forbearance on your mortgage. https://t.co/Qc96viEqNG — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

We have got to do everything we can to make sure that right now, our people are safe, get the paychecks that they need, receive medical care for free, and have a roof over their heads. All American workers must be made whole. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Jason Hargrove’s death is an outrage—it should've never happened. Blue-collar workers are risking their lives to keep this country running. They deserve better. The federal government must require that all frontline workers get protective gear NOW. https://t.co/mqMriBGs54 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

This is an economic meltdown. Millions of Americans have no food in the pantry to feed their kids. No money for rent. Can't pay their mortgage, student debt, or medical bills. We cannot say, "Let's wait and see." We need to get help to our people now and protect their wellbeing. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

It is insane that our nurses are being forced to care for the sick without masks and respirators. The Department of Labor must immediately issue emergency workplace standards to protect our health workers, their families, and their patients. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

It is incomprehensible that we have governors continuing to do business as usual rather than issue stay-at-home orders. If they're not able to do it, the federal government should. https://t.co/EowV1ebbST — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

During this emergency, the government should cover all of the health care you need—that means no out-of-pocket expenses. https://t.co/pFFbhOMJ59 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

While millions of Americans were waiting on unemployment benefits they were promised, Trump made time to meet with those suffering the most: Exxon and Chevron CEOs. If you’re an oil executive who desperately needs a handout, don’t worry! The president is here to help. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

If our farmworkers fall ill, we go hungry. Our health and wellbeing are all interconnected. We must put an end to their cramped, impoverished conditions, and provide free health care, paid sick leave, and good wages—regardless of immigration status. https://t.co/VqDuJaIANN — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The sailors cheering for Captain Crozier are right. The Navy appears to be retaliating against him for acting out of concern for his sailors' health. His position should be restored immediately. Amidst this horrible pandemic, we must speak the truth and protect each other. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

10 million have already filed for unemployment. 3.5 million have already lost their health insurance. Good-quality health care should not be tied to your job. At a minimum, the government must ensure health care for all, without cost, for the duration of this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

If workers are considered essential enough to show up on the job during a pandemic, I'm pretty damn sure they're essential enough to have a $15-an-hour living wage, paid sick leave, protective equipment, and health care as a right. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The coronavirus has infected nearly a quarter million Americans—more than in any other country on Earth. It is absurd to keep 87 million people uninsured or underinsured during this pandemic. Let us learn from this crisis. Let us make health care a human right in America. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I support the flight attendants. The Trump Administration must stop putting up road blocks to this aid. The airline grants must be immediately released to fully fund the paychecks and benefits of 2 million workers. Workers need help and they need it now. https://t.co/xBVZqJdR9K — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The White House wanted to give Indian Country $0 to deal with the coronavirus. Democrats fought for and got $10 billion, but Native American communities need far more. The next coronavirus package must prioritize tribal health care and economic support. https://t.co/cylzxDSQma — PolitiTweet.org
