Meeting with Casey Katims, Senior Policy Analyst for Health Care Office of Congresswoman Suzan del Bene CD 1 August 30, 2017

Our group shared current personal stories about health care access difficulties with the ACA and pointed out the superiority of a system as outlined in HR 676, the Expanded and Improved Medicare for All Act. Casey noted that 80% of his workload concerns health care, and that they support Medicare for All.

Despite repeated requests from her constituents, Rep. del Bene still does not officially support HR 676.

Casey said that HR 676 is under active review and discussion in the House Ways and Means Committee. Rep. del Bene is a member of both the Ways and Means Committee and the House Budget Committee.

It is vital that her constituents continue to voice concerns and encourage her to support HR 676. Thank you for all you do!
