DESCRIPTION:Dr. Cho, Bernie Delegate, said: "This is the single most life-saving piece 
 of legislation we could adopt. Universal access to healthcare is especially 
 critical during this time of COVID-19. Poor, indigenous, Black, Brown, 
 Asian, Pacific Islander, Trans, immigrant, homeless, and incarcerated 
 folks--all our communities are disproportionately affected. Please call, 
 email, and message @SpeakerPelosi. #PassTheDamnBill #MedicareForAll".  
 \nTopic: #PassTheDamnBill \nWe have a bill in the House, introduced by 
 Representative Pramila Jayapal, and co-sponsored by over 1/4th of House 
 members, that would solve this problem of a broken healthcare system:  In 
 the last year, the Medicare for All Act of 2019 has secured:\n119 total 
 sponsors—more than half of the House Democratic Caucus, including the 
 Chair of the House Democratic Caucus, the co-chairs of the House Democratic 
 Policy and Communications Committee, the Assistant Speaker of the House, 
 and the chairs of the Congressional Black Caucus and the Congressional 
 Asian Pacific American Caucus.\nFour hearings in the House—the first-ever 
 four Congressional hearings on Medicare for All—in the Rules, Ways and 
 Means, Budget, and Energy and Commerce committees.\nThe support of a 
 diverse coalition of progressive and racial justice organizations, more 
 than 30 unions and 250 economists, businesses, countless health care 
 providers—including the American College of Physicians, the 
 second-largest group of doctors in the nation—and numerous local 
 resolutions of support, including in Seattle and Los Angeles.  SO...\na 
 coalition of statewide California Bernie delegates have called a press 
 conference at noon--if you are able please come be at 90 7th st. in SF with
