indicates the demonstrate the need for Medicare for All: percent of uninsured, children in poverty, number of patients for each physician, etc.

What Kind of America?
We have publicly funded military to protect us
We have publicly funded police and fire to keep us safe
Why don’t we have publicly funded healthcare for all
We Need Medicare For All Everyone gets a single
standard of quality care (not just those who can afford it)
Choice of physicians No insurance company
bean counter deciding the care you will have instead of the care you need
Cost control – that’s public
A Robin Hood Tax on Wall Street will generate up
to $350 Billion a year By placing a tiny tax—less
than half of 1%– (50 cents on every $100) on Wall Street trades of stocks, bonds, and other financial transactions
Like the sale tax you pay when buying a pair of shoes
A tax of one-half of one percent (.5) adds up to big money — up to $350 billion a year which would:
Guarantee healthcare for all-
• Help end HIV/AIDS- • Address poverty and
climate change • Stop hunger • $ 9 million new jobs-
