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.

It’s been a hot summer for voter registration! Teams have been trying out new ideas, partnering with other LDs, and the Field Team 6 organization. LD9 teams tried voter registration at laundromats in July, which they’ll repeat in September or October.
LD11 Update – August 2019
LD11 has been working with Field Team 6 to register voters in Tucson and the surrounding area. We have held two 2 day events, the latest being on July 22 and July 23.

Arizona certifies Biden's victory over Trump #ElectoralCollege
Make no mistake: Latinos played a decisive role in delivering this historic victory in Arizona.

Remember their names. These are the so-called leaders who would rather destroy American democracy then admit defeat. If there's any steal going on, it's the one that gives the GOP unilateral control of our state government just because of where Democratic voters happen to live.
The @realDonaldTrump attorney @RudyGiuliani starts his compelling argument. We are stopping the left from stealing our victory. #stopthesteal #AZ @ali @michellemalkin
