Donald Trump and maga Republicans have completely failed to provide America's working class with health coverage

Echo letter to the editor of The New York Times:

Medicare for All is very popular. Even people who distrust government are in favor of it. It is a crime and a disgrace that our rich country does not provide Medicare for all of us. Every other wealthy country has figured out how to do this.

Unfortunately in the US the influence and political power of the for-profit corporate health insurance companies cancel out the movement for Medicare for All. (Maine Writer: All working Americans already pay in into Medicare. Makes perfect sense for all who pay for the benefit to receive access to the coverage.) 

Therefore many go without health insurance because they cannot afford it. They are one illness or injury away from bankruptcy due to medical debt.

When will we join every other wealthy country and provide health care for all? I fear that I, at 82 years old, will not live to see it.
