Medicare for All Means Healthcare for All
By Eve Shapiro, M.D. and Richard Wiebe*
As paychecks disappear for millions of Americans, so does their health insurance — at the worst possible time.
The COVID-19 pandemic exposes the most fundamental flaw of the for-profit health insurance system: Lose your job, lose your healthcare. Over 44 million Americans have filed for unemployment benefits; the Kaiser Family Foundation estimates that 27 million will lose their health insurance.
Medicare for All means healthcare for all – with or without a job. It operates under the principle that healthcare is a right, not a privilege reserved for those who can afford it. When you get sick, you go to the doctor with no worries about deductibles and co-payments.

SPOTLIGHT
Volunteer Spotlight | Joanie Allison
By Richard Wiebe
Golfers Joanie and Jim Allison grew to love Tucson during their February visits to Dove Mountain’s Accenture Match Play Championship golf tournament. When asked about her proficiency as a golfer, Joanie would only say the greenskeepers of Alexandria, VA, celebrated when the Allisons retired to Tucson in 2012.
Joanie leads Thursday’s morning and afternoon volunteer crews at PCDP headquarters. Now working from home, she returns phone calls and answers questions about everything from voter registration to road repair. Her favorite calls are inquiries about registering as a Democrat.
“I enjoy interacting with the public, and I look forward to returning to the office and our merry band of volunteers,” she said. “Alison and Cat are so supportive. We all learn from each other, but Alison and Cat are special.”
It’s not enough to just go back to the way things were before these crises — we need to build back better than ever. We have to create a new American economy where everyone gets a fair return for their work and an equal chance to get ahead.
