Subject:support Medicare for All Act
Dear City Council Members ~
I'm writing to encourage you to vote yes on a resolution to support H.R. 1384, The Medicare for All Act at your meeting
this week.
As someone who has navigated our expensive medical system through my now deceased husband's journey with
cancer, my heart goes out to those who don't have access to good medical care.
With so many job losses due to Covid right now, local residents would receive essential financial and emotional relief
through this act. A more equitable health care system would right some of the structural inequality people of color
experience. The city itself would experience financial relief for the high cost of insuring its own employees. And
essential workers we all depend upon so much these days would have access to the high quality health care they
deserve. Everyone deserves access to good medical care.
For all these reasons, I urge you to vote in favor of supporting The Medicare for All Act.
With gratitude for your service to our community,
Donna Helete
