It is time to provide #Medicareforall #Healthcareforall to all Americans, NOW! The purpose of government is to enable the people of a nation to live in safety and happiness. Government exists for the interests of the governed, not for the governors. THOMAS JEFFERSON

My first thought when I woke up! A day many people thought would never come.
