Safe staffing, better wages & protections should not be pitted against care. Care should not be taken away when your contract expires, you’re laid off, you change jobs or you strike.
We need every worker & union in the fight to #PassNYHealth #MedicareForAll.

Maybe because Dems are a bunch of genocide deniers who when they had the chance to pass #MedicareForAll listened to their donors instead

My life-saving medication just went from $200/mo to over $2k(!) because I lost my insurance after I was fired for whistleblowing. Our whole healthcare system needs a hard reboot. #medicareforall

No mention of #ICEtrials or #MedicareforAll or #TaxTheRich. I think I'll wait for the next guy. Read the room, buddy.

Nobody who is on Medicare supports "medicareforall."

WHY don't you understand this?
