First thing first is the lack of Medicare for All.
Really broad for an election year wishlist. I like the public manufacture of generics and the expanded Medicare coverage, but this shit got filtered through the fuckin DNC.● Lower Health Care Costs and Expand Health Care Access:
○ Expand Medicare drug price negotiation to cover all drugs and ensure those lower
prices for all Americans including those without insurance, and make
taxpayer-funded drugs affordable for all.
○ Publicly manufacture select generic drugs and offer them to consumers at a fair price.
○ Close the Medicaid coverage gap, expand Medicare to include dental, vision and
hearing, and lower the Medicare eligibility age.
○ Crack down on private equity in healthcare, Medicare privatization, overcharging and
corporate tax avoidance.
○ Increase funding for all public health care systems, including community health
centers, behavioral health providers, Indian health providers, rural and veterans’
hospitals, and non-law-enforcement first responders for health emergencies.
○ Address health crises by investing in maternal and infant mortality, particularly in
communities of color, and mental health and substance use treatment and
prevention, particularly for the opioid epidemic.
○ Remove medical bills from Americans’ credit reports and stop collectors or creditors
from targeting or discriminating against those with medical bills.
