Schakowsky statement on the launch of the Medicare for All Caucus

Today, Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky, a Chief Deputy Whip, released the following statement celebrating the launch of the Medicare for All Caucus, of which she is a founding member:

“I came to Congress to fight to make sure that every person in our country has access to affordable, quality and comprehensive health care. That’s why I am an original cosponsor of H.R. 676, and why I am a proud member of the Medicare for All Caucus. It’s time we join the rest of the world in guaranteeing universal coverage. And it’s time Republicans stop trying to destroy Medicare and, instead, join us in making sure that we provide Medicare for All.”
