On Monday, August 28, at 7.00pm: join us, for a special Florida statewide Medicare for All virtual town hall, featuring U.S. Rep. Maxwell Frost and a panel of Florida experts.

RSVP now on this page to be a part of this important conversation.

More than 2.5 million Floridians do not have any health insurance, more than 37,000 die every year due to being uninsured. Co-pays, deductibles, cumbersome pre-authorizations and other unnecessary barriers prevent Floridians from receiving the care they need. In addition, the status quo of U.S. healthcare is too expensive and inefficient.

It is past time to demand Medicare for All!

Medicare for All will cover all medically appropriate care including dental, vision, reproductive care, long-term care, prescription drugs and more, with no out-of-pocket costs.

Please join Congressman Maxwell Frost and a panel of statewide experts for an important state-wide virtual Medicare for All townhall.

We will discuss how Florida residents can support one another through this still ongoing healthcare crisis and ways that we can get involved locally to build support for Medicare for All, including how to pass city and county council resolutions.

Speakers include:

• U.S. Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.)
• Patrick Haley, Students for a National Health Program
• Dr. Armen Henderson, Founder, Dade County Street Response
• Dr. Irving Vinger, Physicians for a National Health Program
• Carolina Wassmer, Poder Latinx
• Dwight M. Bullard, Florida Rising

Join us from the comfort of your home. Bring your questions! Bring your ideas!

El lunes 28 de agosto, a las 7.00pm, está invitado a una reunión virtual especial de Medicare para Todos en todo el estado de Florida, con la participación del Representante de EE.UU. Maxwell Frost y un panel de expertos de Florida.

Más de 2,5 millones de floridanos no tienen seguro médico, más de 3.400 floridanos mueren cada año por no tener seguro. Los copagos, las franquicias, las engorrosas autorizaciones previas y otras barreras innecesarias impiden que los floridanos reciban la atención que necesitan. Además, el status quo de la asistencia sanitaria en EE.UU. es demasiado caro e ineficaz. Ya es hora de exigir Medicare para todos. Medicare para todos cubrirá toda la atención médica adecuada, incluyendo dental, visión, atención reproductiva, atención a largo plazo, medicamentos recetados y más, sin gastos de su bolsillo.

Discutiremos cómo los residentes de Florida pueden apoyarse unos a otros a través de esta crisis de salud aún en curso y las formas en que podemos participar a nivel local para construir el apoyo a Medicare para Todos, incluyendo la forma de aprobar las resoluciones del consejo de la ciudad y del condado.

Acompáñanos con un panel estatal de expertos:

• Patrick Haley, Estudiantes para un Programa Nacional de Salud
• Dr. Armen Henderson, Fundador, Dade County Street Response
• Dr. Irving Vinger, Médicos para un Programa Nacional de Salud
• Carolina Wassmer, Florida estado Director del Programa, Poder Latinx
• Dwight Bullard, Sr., Director de la Oficina de Salud Pública de la Florida.

y el discurso principal por el Rep. Maxwell Frost!
