The Honorable Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal
1510 Longworth House Office Building
Washington, DC 20515
Dear Ms. Jayapal,
It is our utmost concern for the health of the people of the United States that compels us to urge you to correct some critical weaknesses of your draft health law. We deeply appreciate your commitment to health and the tremendous work you have put into writing a new national improved Medicare for all bill.
Though we have not seen the text, we recognize that you have strengthened the bill in key ways such as adding reproductive care and expanding services for those who require long term care.
There remain, as far as we are aware, three key areas that require strengthening before the bill is introduced.
The key areas are:
- Prohibiting for-profit providers and buying them out. For-profit providers have been proven over time to cost more and to provide inferior care compared to not-for-profit providers. For-profit hospitals, long term care facilities and dialysis centers have higher rates of mortality, resulting in an estimated 5,000 excess deaths each year. They do not belong in a system that seeks to improve health outcomes and reverse declining life expectancy. We understand the approach in the bill is to provide global budgets and restrict the funds from being used for profits. We are concerned that the for-profit facilities will either game the system, as private health insurers have done skillfully under the Affordable Care Act and find other ways to profit or they will decide to sell their properties to developers, which will result in a loss of those facilities from our health infrastructure. We urge you to institute a buyout of the for-profit facilities for their real value using bonds over time. This will ensure that we maintain access to health facilities for the population.
- A rapid implementation timeline that includes everyone from day one. HR 676 called for the new system to begin on January one of the year that is at least a year from the date of passage of the law. This allowed ample time for planning and a simplicity of the implementation that will create fewer problems. We understand the bill would use a two-year implementation that leaves those aged 20 to 54 out, which is 47% of the population, until the end of the second year. We see no justification for this delay, which will result in continued suffering in a segment of the population that is currently burdened by high debt and low pay. It will result in thousands of preventable deaths. As a nation, we are already paying more than enough for healthcare to provide comprehensive coverage to everyone under a single payer system. We urge you to include everyone in the system at once and as rapidly as possible.
- Including all people in the United States. Every person in the United States needs to be included in the national health system, including undocumented immigrants. This not only guarantees that health care is appropriately treated as a human right or public good, but it also reduces the risk of epidemics and pandemics from occurring, which could impact everyone. We understand there is anti-immigrant sentiment in the United States, but we also recognize this is a minority position that we are working to overcome. We cannot sacrifice our immigrant sisters and brothers for this system. We urge you to include all immigrants in the national system where they will be guaranteed health care and not leave it to the states, some of which will surely discriminate. We will defend the rights of all people to health care.
We recognize that bills become weaker over time, not stronger. We urge you to begin from the position of a strong bill, which the movement for single payer health care will work to defend.
