The creation of Medicare and Medicaid 61 years ago was a key victory in the fight for guaranteed healthcare for all.
Older Americans have the highest medical costs, the hardest time affording private health insurance, and need care the most often. The signing of Medicare achieved this important milestone, alongside the creation of Medicaid to cover healthcare for low-income Americans.
We’re building on what every generation since FDR has created. It is well past time that we expand Medicare to cover children and everyone in between.
What would improved and expanded Medicare for All mean? It would mean this: no premiums, co-pays, co-insurance, or deductibles. It would mean comprehensive healthcare coverage for everyone in America, automatically. It would mean going to the doctor of your choice, without worrying whether your provider is in your insurer’s network.
Social Security Works fights to defend and expand our healthcare system — that’s why we’ve consistently pushed for Medicare for All. Can you chip in $61, $6, or even just $1 to celebrate Medicare’s 61st birthday?
