In Washington, my very own U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings co-sponsored the Expanded & Improved Medicare for All Act in 2013, which tried to create this kind of comprehensive system to insure every American, but he needs more allies in Congress to turn this bill into law. On a local level, "Healthcare is a Human Right — Maryland" is a grass roots alliance of physicians, labor groups, and other Marylanders working to promote true universal health care in our state, and they have several local organizing chapters that need your support.
