Matthew Majestic has been a firefighter for 28 years and, as a proud union member, knows what it means to fight for the quality health care hardworking Americans just like him deserve.  Unfortunately, Washington bureaucrats want to replace his plan with a new, one-size-fits-all government insurance system.

I’ve been a firefighter for 28 years and, as a proud union member, I fought hard to help firefighters get the high-quality health care they deserve.

Here’s the truth:

Whether the politicians call it Medicare for All, Medicare Buy-In or the public option – they all represent the same, government-run health care. The bottom line? Americans would pay more to wait longer for worse care.

Instead of building upon what’s working in our current health care system and fixing what’s broken, they will do away with what works well – putting bureaucrats in control of our health and raising taxes in exchange for a loss of control and lower quality care.

By embracing new government insurance systems like Medicare for All, Medicare Buy-In and the public option, politicians are embracing plans that mean patients like Matthew will face higher costs and have no control over their own health care decisions.
