New polling shows what many of us already feel: people are fed up with a system where private insurers raise premiums, hike out-of-pocket costs, and post record profits.\u00a0<\/em>Six in ten ACA enrollees already struggle to afford deductibles<\/em><\/strong>, and most couldn\u2019t handle even a small increase. No wonder voters across parties are turning toward bold solutions \u2014 support for\u00a0<\/em>Medicare for All<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0has climbed back to its strongest point since 2020.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Here in Maryland, our healthcare team is pushing forward. We\u2019re organizing to protect affordable care, combat premium hikes, and build momentum for Medicare for All, one of our top priorities for the upcoming legislative session.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll share our full 2026 agenda soon, but our organizing across healthcare, housing, education, environmental justice, and economic justice is already well underway.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Read on for ways to get involved, key campaign updates, upcoming events, and the state and national news you need this week.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
