 Local Government 
 Resolutions?\n\nhttps://www.medicare4allresolutions.org/\n\nLocal 
 governments must often deal most directly with the consequences of our 
 unaffordable and inequitable health insurance system. Municipal budgets are 
 increasingly strapped and local businesses struggle to make ends meet due 
 to rising health insurance premiums. And local governments provide 
 front-line response when community members face medical debt-related 
 bankruptcies or become gravely ill or die needlessly because they lacked 
 adequate health insurance.\n\nThus, local governments can play an important 
 role in highlighting the desperate need for an expanded and improved 
 Medicare for All. By passing resolutions, local governments can help to 
 shape the national public narrative and build political will needed to 
 ultimately win guaranteed healthcare for everyone as a matter of 
 right.\n___________________________________________________________\n\nLocal
