Tragically, 68,000 Americans die annually due to unaffordable healthcare, while medical debt bankrupts countless families. As I prepare to reintroduce Medicare for All, it's crucial to envision a system where healthcare is a human right, free from the burdens of insurance bureaucracy. The time for change is now.
