Subject:Please support Healthcare for all
As an RN who has worked in the United Kingdom under the National Health System (and still have family members
receiving care there) and in Alberta, Canada under the provincial health care there, I believe that our current broken
system of insurance is detrimental to the health and wealth of most citizens, especially those of color and those living in
poorer rural areas. I worked at Stanford’s Children’s Hospital and had to fight insurance companies for coverage for sick
children. As long as it is a for profit industry, people will put profit above health. I even worked in pediatrics in Saudi
Arabia and the Bedouins had better access to care for their children.
Please adopt any measures that support a “Medicare for all” approach.
Thank you
Deborah “Rosh” Wright
