Celebrate Medicare’s 44th Birthday by showing Congress and President Obama the people, unions, doctors, nurses, seniors, faith groups, and Americans of every stripe support a single-payer system.

As President Obama says, “We must build on what works and leave out what
doesn’t.” Medicare has successfully provided care to seniors and people
with disabilities for almost half a century. Medicare is a truly American-made
system that other health care systems around the world have since been
modeled after. With little over 3% administrative overhead, we must look to
this American solution to our health care crisis.

The best way to save this system is to expand it and make it a truly
single-payer system by removing the for-profit interests.

Polls consistently show that the public supports a Medicare for All
system, and 59% of physicians support it. In the face of inadequate reform to our health care system, we want Congress to make sure our voice is heard.
