[broadstreet zone=”80100″]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

WASHINGTON DC – Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) today, May 15, introduced the Health Care Emergency Guarantee Act to eliminate all out-of-pocket health costs for every person in America during the COVID-19 crisis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Edward Markey (D-Mass.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), and Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) cosponsored the legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring this public health crisis, we must make sure that everyone in America is able to receive all of the medical care they need, regardless of their income, immigration status or insurance coverage.\u00a0No one in this country should be afraid to go to the doctor because of the cost\u2014especially during a pandemic.\u00a0The American people deserve an emergency health care response that is simple, straightforward, comprehensive, and cost-effective,\u201d\u00a0said Sen. Sanders.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[broadstreet zone=”53820″]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe should empower Medicare to pay all of the medical bills of the uninsured and the under-insured\u2014including prescription drugs\u2014for the duration of the coronavirus pandemic. When so many people in this country are struggling economically and terrified at the thought of becoming sick, the federal government has a responsibility to take the burden of health care costs off of the backs of the American people. The legislation we are introducing today does just that,” said the Vermont Senator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New polling reveals overwhelming enthusiasm for Sanders\u2019 proposal. According to Data for Progress, 73 percent of American voters support Medicare\u00a0covering\u00a0all out-of-pocket health expenses during this emergency, including 58 percent of Republicans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

[broadstreet zone=”59945″]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In comparison, 55 percent backed a separate proposal to cover the cost of insurance premiums through COBRA, a federal program that allows those who have lost their jobs to temporarily retain their former employers\u2019 health insurance coverage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When presented with evidence that Sanders\u2019 emergency Medicare proposal is significantly less expensive despite covering millions more people, 61 percent preferred Sanders\u2019 approach versus 14 percent who backed COBRA subsidies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sanders has\u00a0previously argued\u00a0that proposals to expand COBRA benefits with taxpayer subsidies would provide private insurance corporations with hundreds of billions of dollars in windfall profits, but do nothing to cover those who had already lacked employer-provided insurance, or those who continue to be deterred from seeking medical assistance due to high deductibles, which require roughly\u00a0$1,800<\/a>\u00a0on average in annual out-of-pocket spending before private insurance coverage kicks in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[broadstreet zone=”59982″]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sanders\u2019 legislation, in contrast, would simply leverage the existing Medicare payment infrastructure to affordably and efficiently pay all costs of treatment for the uninsured, and cover all out-of-pocket costs such as copayments and deductibles for those who already have public or private insurance. The bill also halts medical debt collections, prohibits private insurance companies from increasing cost-sharing, and requires ongoing data collection and weekly reporting on health disparities related to COVID-19. The legislation would be effective until a COVID-19 vaccine is widely available to the public. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHealth care is a right, not a privilege,\u201d\u00a0said Gillibrand.\u00a0\u201cThe COVID-19 pandemic has made clear that every individual needs access to affordable health care, and the Health Care Emergency Guarantee Act would cover everyone\u2019s out-of-pocket- health care expenses during this emergency, regardless of insurance status. I am proud to partner with Senator Sanders and my colleagues to introduce this important legislation because we need to guarantee treatment and care to every individual American in order to safely reopen our economy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[broadstreet zone=”59984″]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs the nation continues to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is critical that\u00a0all\u00a0families have access to the health care they need, without having to worry about out-of-pocket costs,\u201d\u00a0said Sen. Booker.\u00a0\u201cThis\u00a0legislation will ensure medical debt and health care costs\u00a0aren\u2019t\u00a0barriers for those seeking care. This is especially important\u00a0for low-income communities, communities of color, and immigrant communities, who face greater health inequities and are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo American should ever go broke paying for medical care\u2014especially not during a public health emergency,\u201d\u00a0said Sen. Warren.\u00a0\u201cWith families struggling to make ends meet now more than ever, I\u2019m glad to partner with Senator Sanders on a bill to eliminate out-of-pocket costs for necessary health care and halt medical debt collections during this economic crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAmericans shouldn\u2019t worry about whether they can afford treatment if they come down with the coronavirus,\u201d\u00a0said Sen. Markey.\u00a0\u201cThey shouldn\u2019t worry about bankruptcy caused by medical bills or out-of-pocket costs. Congress has taken key steps to support our economy and our health care providers, but we must do more to protect all Americans in this time of crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[broadstreet zone=”58610″]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo family should go bankrupt because they had the misfortune of getting sick\u2014especially as our nation continues to grapple with a dangerous pandemic,\u201d\u00a0said Sen. Merkley.\u00a0\u201cIn a pandemic, every one of us is better off if someone who\u2019s sick can go to the doctor and get care as soon as they need it. The time is now for Congress to eliminate out-of-pocket health costs for essential care and halt the collection of medical debts, to help everyone get the care they need and to help our country get through this pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe COVID-19 pandemic has placed Americans under tremendous stress,\u201d\u00a0said Sen. Harris.\u00a0\u201cOn top of wondering how they will pay rent and put food on the table, paying for medical treatment if they get sick should not be another worry for families. I am proud to join my colleagues to introduce this legislation to protect patients from cost barriers to the medical care they need to stay healthy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[broadstreet zone=”59983″]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur broken health care system is failing to protect millions of Americans from the coronavirus pandemic. Now more than ever, we need to take bold action to prevent more Americans from getting sick or dying,\u201d\u00a0said Representative Jayapal, who sponsored the legislation in the House.\u00a0\u201cEveryone in America should have guaranteed access to health care, especially during national emergency.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe only way to remove the threat of COVID-19 is to keep everyone healthy and act without delay to contain the spread,\u201d said\u00a0Sara Nelson, International President of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, whose union endorsed the legislation. \u201cWhen any individual has to weigh paying our bills or paying for medical attention, we are all less safe because public health takes a back seat to personal financial concerns. We need care for everyone, and even those of us with union negotiated healthcare coverage shouldn\u2019t have to worry about copays, deductibles, or prescription costs. Our physical, mental, and financial health depends on full care for all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


\u201cOver 36 million people just lost their jobs, and in many cases their health care coverage as well, in the middle of a pandemic,\u201d\u00a0said Alex Lawson, Executive Director of Social Security Works.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cEven many people who still have insurance have co-pays and deductibles that can drive them into bankruptcy.\u00a0People in their \u201850s and early \u201860s, who are likely to have more severe cases of COVID-19 but aren’t yet eligible for Medicare, are in the greatest financial as well as medical danger. This is why we support the\u00a0Emergency Health Care Guarantee Act to\u00a0immediately cancel out of pocket costs for health care for everyone in this country during the public health emergency.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[broadstreet zone=”70107″]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRegistered nurses are on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic, and we know from our experiences at the bedside that people who are uninsured or underinsured are foregoing the health care they need because they can\u2019t afford it,\u201d\u00a0said Bonnie Castillo, RN, Executive Director of National Nurses United.\u00a0\u201cWe cannot adequately respond to the COVID-19 crisis unless we guarantee health care to every person living in our country. The Health Care Emergency Guarantee Act would do just this, by ensuring that every patient gets the care they need without out of pocket costs during the COVID-19 pandemic. National Nurses United applauds Senator Sanders, Congresswoman Jayapal, and Congresswoman Bass for introducing this critical legislation, and urges every Member of Congress to support this bill.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sanders\u2019 bill enjoys the endorsement of 32 national organizations and unions including the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers, National Nurses United, Service Employees International Union (SEIU), United Electrical Radio and Machine Workers of America; Center for Popular Democracy, Indivisible, League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), MoveOn.Org,\u00a0National Domestic Workers Alliance, People\u2019s Action, Progressive Change Campaign Committee, Public Citizen, Social Security Works, Sunrise Movement, United We Dream, Working Families Party, Business for Medicare for All, Debs-Jones-Douglass Institute, Democracy for America, Democratic Socialists of America, Economic Opportunity Institute, Economic Policy Institute, Faith Action Network, Healthcare-NOW, Hometown Action, Jane Addams Senior Center, Labor Campaign for Single Payer, Legal Voice, Medicare for All Now, Partners for Dignity & Rights, Presente.org, and Progressive Democrats of America.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[broadstreet zone=”70106″]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joining Congresswomen Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) and Bass (D-Calif.) in the House to cosponsor the Health Care Emergency Guarantee Act are Representatives DeFazio (D-Ore.), Garcia, J. (D-Ill.), Kennedy (D-Mass.), Khanna (D-Calif.), Meng (D-N.Y.), Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Omar (D-Minn.), Pocan (D-Wis.), Pressley (D-Mass.), Raskin (D-Md.), Bonamici (D-Ore.), Dingell (D-Mich.), Cohen (D-Tenn.), Norton (D-DC), Tlaib (D-Mich.), and Espaillat (D-N.Y.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
