Thank Your Mayor Today
The United States has some pretty awesome mayors.
The 1,100 mayors in the U.S. Conference of Mayors should be especially commended.
And we mean all of them.
Meeting in Miami, Fla. last Monday, the USCM assembly adopted a resolution supporting the extension of Medicare health care coverage to all Americans.
It passed not by just a few votes; it passed unanimously!
Why?
Because mayors understand the true costs of health care better than most elected officials, according to Dr. David Prensky, a retired dentist from Palm Beach, Fla.
“[Mayors] are closer to the grassroots, where their communities and constituents are suffering. Meanwhile, their city budgets are being shattered by health costs for their own employees,” said Prensky.
Specifically, the mayors support the “United States National Health Insurance Act” (H.R. 676), also known as the “Improved and Expanded Medicare for All Act,” sponsored by Rep. John Conyers of Michigan and 90 other members of Congress.
