He finally did it and signed on as a co-sponsor so I guess the pressure really did work after all. My hands are actually shaking a little while I type this because I honestly thought he would just keep ignoring us forever. Keep watching the upcoming sessions though because we …

Hon. Congressman Donald Norcross:
We the undersigned citizens, residing in New Jersey’s 1st CD, request that you immediately join with 120 of your Democratic colleagues who have signed on as co-sponsors of HR 676, the “Improved & Expanded Medicare for All” single payer healthcare legislation. This bill now has more co-sponsors than at any time since it was first introduced in 2003.
Multiple polls conducted in 2017 indicate that 60% of the American people favor “expanding Medicare to provide health insurance to every American.” It is time for the United States to join the rest of the civilized world and make healthcare a human right for every U.S. resident.
HR 676 would cover every U.S. resident with guaranteed, comprehensive, cradle-to grave-health care, and would reduce costs for every American, except the very wealthy.
I urge you to join with the majority of the Democratic Caucus who are already co-sponsors of HR 676, and in addition, become an active proponent of HR 676.

I really never thought this would gain this much steam when I typed it out on my laptop during a lunch break that lasted way too long. The momentum is honestly surreal and it feels like people are finally waking up to the fact that healthcare should be a basic right for everyone instead of just some luxury item for the lucky few.

The Republican healthcare bill is evil, but the ACA is not enough to prevent hardships for individuals & families living in the United States. Congressman Norcross, if you are truly compassionate to your constituents, you would co-sponsor this bill now, and not when it is politically expedient or when your party leaders tell you to vote for it. Single-payer, socialized medicine is the only moral choice.
Health care is a basic human right, and must be available to all people regardless of ability to pay. It is nothing short of a crime to allow people to die of treatable illnesses because they can't afford treatment.
As a NJ parent and small business owner, as well as the spouse of a disabled person, the need to maintain private health insurance has required my spouse to work an office job limiting their freedom to pursue other ventures that might not provide employer subsidized insurance thus making it unaffordable. Single payer is cheaper and provides better coverage to more people with fewer resources wasted on golden salaries and benefits for executives.
The facts speak for themselves. A one-payer healthcare system is more cost effective than our current free-market based system.
We need to put our peoples health and well being before the profits of the insurance and pharmaceutical companies.
Imperative that we expand Medicare for all.
Because everyone has a right to affordable health care!

The ACA was just the start for universal healthcare, and it has proven popular, so please, let's extend healthcare to all Americans.
