Thanks Christi, for sending me her response. I have contacted her office to let them know that it is not accurate. In fact the summary I did in the newsletter was actually for her office to use. I will follow up with them in the Vancouver office and let them know that the response is still out of date.
I used Resistbot to send a message to Marie Gluesenkamp Perez et al, regarding Universal Healthcare, and this is a snippet of the reply I received: "The Medicare for All Act of 2023 would establish a federally administered national health insurance program implemented over a two year period. I support ensuring access to health care, but we have to make sure such policies are truly improving health outcomes, not just lining the pockets of insurance executives. Our rural communities already struggle to access basic health care services, let alone specialists and advanced care. Medicare for All might make that worse. I would need to see changes to this bill that ensure rural communities aren’t left behind. Please know I will keep your input in mind if this bill or similar legislation is brought up for a vote before the House. " I am wondering what her concerns might be with regard to Medicare for All making it worse for rural communities??
