3 More Cosponsors for Federal M4A Act!

These days, the news about what's happening in Washington can be hard to watch, which is why it's especially exciting to celebrate THREE wins in one week! Congratulations to activists in Ohio, New Jersey, and Florida for bringing the total number of Congressional Representatives cosponsoring the Medicare for All Act up to 120!

Representative Donald Norcross of New Jersey had agreed to cosponsor federal Medicare for All legislation in 2018 but hadn't signed on to the Medicare for all Act for the past two sessions. Fortunately, our affiliates at NJ Universal Healthcare Coalition, Our Revolution, National Nurses United, Center for Popular Democracy, and many others wouldn't rest until Norcross was back on board! Help us spread the news about Rep. Norcross by sharing our posts on Facebook and Twitter!

Shontel Brown of Ohio District 11 signed on just a week after noted Medicare for All supporter Nina Turner declared that she will be challenging Brown again for her seat in the upcoming primary. Many thanks to our friends at Single Payer Action Network Ohio and all of the other folks fighting on the ground to make Ohio the kind of place where you need to support Medicare for All to be a competitive candidate! Help us spread the news about Rep. Brown by sharing our posts on Facebook and Twitter!

Rep Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick of Florida was just elected in a special election this year to fill the seat of late Rep. Alcee Hastings, a Medicare for All Act cosponsor who passed away in 2021. Rep. Cherfilus-McCormick is carrying on the tradition of supporting Medicare for All in her district by signing on as a cosponsor herself. Shout out to our friends at the Florida Medicare for All Organizing Committee who are keeping up the fight for Medicare for All throughout the state!  Help us spread the news about Rep. Cherfilus-McCormick by sharing our posts on Facebook and Twitter!

Speaking of Congresspeople who support the Medicare for All Act, have we mentioned that Lead Sponsor of the bill and healthcare justice champion Rep. Pramila Jayapal will be speaking at our online Medicare for All Strategy Conference coming up in April? There's still time to register here!   In solidarity, Ben and Gillian Healthcare-NOW staff
