The United States has 💰 More billionaires than any other country 💰 24% of global GDP It’s not unreasonable to believe that nobody in America should be going bankrupt from medical bills or working decades to pay off student loans. — PolitiTweet.org

Medicare for All will make American businesses more competitive & create a level playing field for medium sized companies that lack the leverage to get reduced premiums. Businesses would pay a small tax to finance M4A which will be MUCH LESS than their current exorbitant premiums — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Our healthcare system is so expensive that millions of Americans are putting off care and ER visits, while going billions into debt. With Medicare for All, there will be no more co-pays, deductibles, or premiums so you can get the care you need without worrying about the cost. https://t.co/2quxoSe4Of — PolitiTweet.org

When people have to go through a long process to have their past criminal records sealed, it puts those with less free time and resources at a disadvantage. That’s not justice. Automatic expungement should be the standard. https://t.co/QgrviLTDCi — PolitiTweet.org

Elliot Management’s plan for AT&T will lead to profits for shareholders, substandard service for customers & job losses. @CWAChrisShelton and I demand that AT&T invest in their future instead of letting their value be extracted by hedge funds. @CWAUnion https://t.co/3VdqEPPFtz — PolitiTweet.org

I support the @CTULocal1 teachers and @SEIU73 workers in Chicago who are on strike. Every teacher deserves fair pay and benefits and students deserve adequate resources and lower class sizes. #CTUStrike #CTUSEIUStrike https://t.co/aSgy4gi5hB — PolitiTweet.org

I am heartbroken this morning to learn that Elijah Cummings has died. He was an inspiration for so many members of Congress and fought tirelessly for justice for decades. My heart goes out to his family during this challenging time. — PolitiTweet.org

Senators who oppose a resolution allowing California to set their fuel economy standards have received almost 15 TIMES more from oil & gas interests than those who are in support. Campaign finance reform is linked to the fight for a sustainable future. https://t.co/dCCLksWTTX — PolitiTweet.org

Our current healthcare system: ❌ Out-of-network costs and surprise bills ❌ Choice is restricted by healthcare plan ❌ Access to healthcare is based on job, age, or bank account Medicare for All: ✅ Everyone is in-network ✅ More choices ✅ Healthcare guaranteed to all — PolitiTweet.org

After rejecting Obama’s overtime rule, Trump’s Department of Labor has approved a rule that will cost workers $1.8 billion in lost wages over the next decade. Trump’s presidency has been a disaster for working class Americans. https://t.co/AbBefnBJBA — PolitiTweet.org

Last night’s #DemDebate left viewers without answers to these issues: 🚨 8M families pay more than 50% of their income on housing 🚨 Over 40M Americans including 1-in-5 children live in poverty 🚨 Our infrastructure has a D+ rating from the Army Society of Civil Engineers — PolitiTweet.org

Here are a few important issues that received virtually no time at last night’s debate: ❓ Student Debt ❓ Net Neutrality ❓ College for All ❓ Climate Change ❓ Universal Childcare ❓ Immigration Reform ❓ High-speed Broadband — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Anyone on the debate stage last night who said that Medicare for All is about taking away choice is being dishonest. Do they believe seniors over 65 on Medicare lack choice? .@BernieSanders' Medicare for All is about freedom and the pursuit of happiness. https://t.co/9rlkAIx49g — PolitiTweet.org

If the price of iPhones and eggs are similar in both Canada and the United States, then why is insulin almost 10x more in the U.S.? The Prescription Drug Price Relief Act I’ve introduced with @BernieSanders will make insulin affordable for all. https://t.co/spIvgOKD7u — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The problem with @PeteButtigieg “Medicare if you want it” is it won’t bring the admin costs down of private insurers or maximize negotiation with Big Pharma & hospitals. This means higher premiums, higher drug costs, higher deductibles, & more denied claims for the middle class. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@realdocD Actually, Bernie’s bill doesn’t outlaw supplemental insurance. It simply bans duplicative insurance which is the current law of Medicare. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

M4A will be far less expensive because it saves insurance and admin costs. It’s not honest to ask Americans to pay for the system’s private insurance costs in a public option “gliding” to M4A & then accuse M4A advocates lowering those costs of raising taxes. Give me a break. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

You pay for M4A by taxing employers, the rich, & corporations &, at worst, a premium similar to Medicare B. That premium is MUCH LESS than what Buttigieg requires to pay but @BernieSanders & @ewarren have never used R talking points in saying @PeteButtigieg wants to raise taxes! — PolitiTweet.org

The law requires every senior who signs up for social security to sign up for Medicare Part A. I have yet to meet a senior who believes that’s an infringement on their freedoms! — PolitiTweet.org
