Welcome to the official Twitter of The NJ Universal Healthcare Coalition. We develop and build support for state-level single-payer legislation in New Jersey.
The health insurance industry hopes you never hear this: Medicare for All would save the average American family over $12,000 a year. Gone: monthly premiums. No premiums. No deductibles. No copays. No surprise bills. No “out-of-network” traps. No $500 ambulance bill months later. That is why they spend $150 million a year lobbying Congress.
A 2021 study concluded that switching to single payer health care would save $450 billion dollars annually. Why are we unnecessarily spending $450 billion every year? #MedicareForAll Read the study: thelancet.com/journals/lance…
Despite marginally shorter hospital wait times (about 27 minutes less for an emergency room visit), Americans die 4 years younger on average than people in comparable countries with single payer health care. #MedicareForAll (SOURCES: World Population Review; World Bank)
In March 2025, 60% of adults under age 65 (165.6 million people) had employer-sponsored health insurance. The share falls to 22.5% for those with lower incomes. More data on employer coverage here: on.kff.org/42dv4Si
Being able to access and afford health care when they need it is far and away the number one concern shared by most Americans. Isn’t it about time something was done about this? #MedicareForAll
71% of 2025 marketplace enrollees who changed their coverage or skipped coverage said that cost was a major factor in their decision. The end of ACA tax credits is hurting our health. kff.org/public-opinion…
For Eileen, a 26 year old in Brooklyn, her marketplace health insurance premium jumped from $147 to $849 this year. ACA tax credits kept care affordable for Americans across the country, without it the cost is unmanageable. cnbc.com/2026/03/25/how…
