Time to let Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid know that the American people want a debate and a vote on Medicare for all, single-payer healthcare during this Congressional effort. And itās crunch time for the Sanders/Brown/Burris Medicare for all, single-payer amendment in the Senate.
In the effort to move something quickly, some amendments may not be considered unless the Leader perceives the importance of such consideration or the consequences of not hearing amendments that are critical to various Senators and constituencies.
Amendment No. 2837 would extend healthcare as a basic human right to all. The three original sponsors of the amendment understand that the American people need access to care that is not dependent on wealth or level of private insurance coverage.
Call Senator Reid today. Tell him you want Senator Sandersā amendment number 2837 to be debated and you want a vote to be taken. Phone in DC at 202-224-3542 or the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121, or Senator Reidās Las Vegas office at 702-388-5020
