Health care is a human right.  That is a slogan that many will argue with.  However, basic health care is recognized as a human right in international conventions.  And what about the reverse: health care is NOT a human right, but a commodity to be purchased.  You get what you deserve in health care not because you are a human being but because you have more money.  Is that really the argument that the nay-sayers are advancing?  How will it sound to most peoples' ears?  Pretty callous.

Business should run their business, not your health care.  As it stands now, employers who have large payrolls have to deal with a myriad of problems related to their employees' health care, mostly problems caused by the complexities of insurance company rules.  Think about it: should an employer have to hire extra people just to figure out and explain health insurance benefits?  Of course not.  That's not his business.  The employer should be making widgets, and every person he hires to explain health insurance to this employee is one less person making widgets and contributing to the bottom line.

Raise wages.  Take health insurance off the bargaining table.  When employers bargain, they offer a hard choice: reduce health benefits if you want even a minimal raise.  They have to do this.  The health care premiums are rising at double the rate of inflation and have been for years.  With Medicare for All, employers can't do that and don't need to.  Their portion of health care premiums are paid by a payroll tax, just like Social Security and Medicare is paid now.  The total payroll tax for Medicare for All is less than the amount employers typically pay now in premiums.

Which middleman would you rather deal with?  The one who charges 30% overhead or the one who charges 3% overhead?  Every health care dollar paid out loses 30% to insurance-driven overhead: billing, sales, and lots and lots of profit.  Medicare has 3% overhead.

Lost jobs = lost health insurance = lost health = lost lives.  18 thousand people die each year because they are uninsured.  Who is next?

Two years ago, no one thought the US would have an African-American first term senator for President. Today, no one is surprised.  Two years from now, no one will be surprised that the US has Medicare For All.

Some people claim that Senators are resisting single payer Medicare for All and Obama is going along with it because Medicare for All is not 'politically feasible.'  To that I say that electing a black president was not feasible either until it was inevitable.  With 6f5% of Americans favoring guaranteed health care paid for by the government and delivered by the private medical system, Medicare for All is not only feasible but inevitable.  Let's make it sooner rather than later.

Insurance is for accidents.  Health care is for certainties.  They don't belong together.

No insurance company wields a scalpel or carries a stethoscope or bandages a wound.  They are merely moneychangers in the temple of medicine.  Let's drive out the moneychangers.

Rx for HealthCare:
Take one a week to cure healthcare
Take one a day to cure healthcare faster

Talk to at least one person each day and teach them about single payer.  The concept of "health care without insurance" is so simple that most Americans won't get it at first.  What??? No insurance?? Then how do the hospitals and doctors get paid?  Answer: Medicare for All pays them.  One bill.  One 'insurer'. No profiteering middleman.  Simple.
