RT if you agree that nobody in America should have to go into debt or declare bankruptcy because of medical costs. — PolitiTweet.org

While Big Pharma and insurance companies spend millions to oppose our movement for universal healthcare, millions of Americans die because they can’t afford treatment. Medicare for All will save lives. https://t.co/hHtDnSuwaq — PolitiTweet.org

.⁦@maddow⁩ Reproductive rights are about equality & our constitution. We can respect people’s faith & personal views, but insist the party support candidates who will stand for abortion rights at a time they are under assault. ⁦⁦@ilyseh⁩ https://t.co/3qtldB4ie5 — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Do those who talk about the success of our healthcare system think it's okay that hospitals are suing people who are in debt because they can’t afford their bills? Medicare for All will guarantee health care for all instead of medical debt for all. https://t.co/t2Lpu1o0p9 — PolitiTweet.org

Here's the issue with measuring the health of our economy using the stock market: The top 1 percent today controls more than half the equity in American companies. We must measure the health of our economy by asking this question: Do you feel economically secure? — PolitiTweet.org

Even though 11 states have legalized marijuana for recreational use and many large cities have decriminalized, people continue to get arrested for use. Together we are going to end this injustice by legalizing marijuana nationwide. https://t.co/MvJU9hpiql — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks ⁦@JHWeissmann⁩ for facts. Just 1.4% of benefits of free college go to the 1%. Many rich kids go to private school. The cost of free college is not much more than the cost of staying in Afghanistan. We want economic diversity in public colleges https://t.co/HRs5ekQjNf — PolitiTweet.org

Last night we saw a genuine, philosophical difference about who should lead Democrats. Do we want a President who will lay out a vision of a progressive future that we can work towards or a President who will seek whatever wins they can get within the current political framework? — PolitiTweet.org

Instead of reading from the same, tired, consultant script of running against Washington, a new generation of leaders should summon our government to do great things again. We need to restore faith in government to improve people’s lives & prepare America to lead the 21st century — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

It makes for a clever soundbite to knock “100 years of Washington experience on this stage.” But that represents years of scars fighting for progressive values. What is wrong with America is not the people on the stage, but the forces they are fighting against. Honor their work. — PolitiTweet.org

.@BernieSanders has led on foreign policy ever since opposing the war in Iraq. He also opposed all of Trump's military increases and together we passed the bipartisan War Powers Resolution to end the war in Yemen. America needs Bernie's leadership in the White House. #DemDebate — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@BernieSanders There's a way to leave without the government collapsing. We need to work with China, India, and other regional powers to negotiate a deal where there's power sharing so that the Taliban can have some representation in the government but basic human rights are protected. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

After 18 years of war, the Taliban holds more territory in Afghanistan than ever before. Women, children and our soldiers are killed as the war goes on. @BernieSanders is right that we need a responsible withdrawal that brings our troops home as we work toward peace. #DemDebate — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

College for All isn't about "sending rich kids to college for free." Many of them go to private schools! It's about making sure that the kids of working class families have an equal shot for all the jobs in the 21st century! #DemocraticDebate — PolitiTweet.org

.@BernieSanders’ Medicare for All makes economic sense. #DemDebate https://t.co/KezY9NMRzk — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

VP Biden, you say the votes are not there for M4A. But the votes were not there for the Voting Rights Act, the Civil Rights Act, Medicare, or the ACA before WH leadership. Is the job of the President to reflect the status quo or to build a progressive future? @BernieSanders — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

All those on the #DemDebate stage who are asking how we pay for Medicare for All are missing a very important point: @BernieSanders’ Medicare for All will cost less than our current system over the next ten years. #DemocraticDebate — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Adding the public option will create a two-tiered system that continues to restrict the choices available to people while failing to eliminate the huge administrative costs of our current system. That’s why @BernieSanders fights everyday for Medicare for All. #DemocraticDebate — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

🚨 34M know someone who died after not getting treatment 🚨 58M couldn’t pay for their prescription drugs in the past year 🚨 42% of cancer patients drain their life savings within two years Ending this crisis is more important than Big Pharma and insurance company profits. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @ryangrim: This new thing where every health care bill that is not immediate Medicare for All is by definition bad and a sign of a sell… — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Thanks @ryangrim. I am 110% committed to @BernieSanders M4A bill & one of the first co-sponsors of @PramilaJayapal bill. My bill simply allows states like Vermont & California, where there is tremendous grassroots activism, to get a waiver so they can implement single payer. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@BernieSanders Bernie himself has also fought very hard for this state-based approach and pushed for Vermont to implement it. I will never back down from fighting for national Medicare for All which will leave nobody behind. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

My new bill will make it possible for states like Vermont and California to use federal money to pass single-payer systems. It’s not at all a replacement for the gold-standard: @BernieSanders’ Medicare for All bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

There have been 22 transgender people murdered this year and almost all have been black women. Today we honor them while continuing the fight for justice and closure for their families. Together we will end transphobic violence in America. #TDOR https://t.co/u7xHdmjo8r — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

In the critical state of Wisconsin, ⁦@BernieSanders⁩ is sadly the only Democrat to crack 45%. I signed up for ⁦@BernieSanders⁩ b/c I honestly believe this will be a tough, nasty race and he has the best chance to win WI, PA, MI which we need! https://t.co/9gy6cIf514 — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Trump was willing to declare a national emergency to sidestep Congress and build a border wall. Meanwhile, Big Pharma earns massive profits while 58 million Americans couldn’t afford their medications last year. Where's the urgency on lowering prescription drug costs? — PolitiTweet.org

💰 U.S. legal marijuana industry tax revenue in 2018: Over $1 billion 👮 Arrests for marijuana possession in 2018: 663,367 While investors profit from cannabis, people continue to get criminal records. Ending the prohibition of marijuana must be a priority. — PolitiTweet.org
