U.S (PRAMILA JAYAPAL FOR CONGRESS) : add your name in support of the HEAL ACT and Pramila’s efforts to fight for immigrants’ rights.

 

 

 

Friend, 

 

We must protect and uplift our immigrant neighbors. And right now, they need our support.

We need to guarantee health care to everyone as a human right — regardless of immigration status, income, or employment status. Pramila knows what it feels like to be a young immigrant without federal support. That’s why she’s proud to introduce the Health Equity and Access under Law (HEAL) for Immigrant Families Act.

The HEAL Act proposes, for the first time in federal legislation, to allow states to include undocumented immigrants in Medicaid and CHIP and remove the 5-year waiting period for Medicare benefits for immigrants.

If you believe that everyone regardless of their immigration status deserves access to comprehensive and quality health care, please add your name to our petition and amplify our collective message to Congress. We need the HEAL Act today.

Immigrants are significantly more likely to be uninsured, leaving them at higher risk for both adverse health and financial consequences. By next year, immigrants will account for an estimated 8 percent of the population, yet they will make up a disproportionate 31 percent of the non-elderly uninsured population.

In this last year, we’ve seen the ever-constant struggle of bodily autonomy and freedom of choice come under constant attack at every level. And it’s clear the Black, Brown, and poor communities will bear the brunt of these heartless and extreme policies unless we do everything in our power to stop these attacks.

For too long, discriminatory health care and immigration policy in the U.S. has limited immigrant access to affordable, comprehensive health insurance. By working to create a more equitable health care system, we can create healthier communities and a stronger, more resilient economy. And we can pave the way for universal healthcare down the road.

Please add your name in support of the HEAL Act and Pramila’s efforts to fight for immigrants’ rights. We need as many voices as possible in support if we want this legislation to make a massive impact in Congress. Sign in support today.

Together, 

 

Team Jayapal.
