This is a forum to answer questions and concerns of people and to encourage support for Medicare For All; and become active by, i.e. talking with our Federal Representatives and Senators. None of our Federal Representatives have signed onto the Rep. Conyers, now Rep. Ellison, HR 676 in the House of Representatives. Only Sen. Blumenthal has signed onto Sen. Bernie Sanders' bill.
