                   MEDICARE IS AN INVESTMENT FOR ALL

  (Mr. ROBERT GARCIA of California asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROBERT GARCIA of California. Mr. Speaker, I am a proud cosponsor 
of Medicare for All here in the House.
  Medicare for All isn't controversial or radical. It is commonsense 
policy to ensure that our healthcare is not dependent on where we work. 
We all know that Medicare already works in this country for so many 
older adults.
  When I was mayor of Long Beach, I was proud to have cofounded the 
Mayors for Medicare Coalition which brought together leaders from 
across the country to support Medicare for All. As mayor, I saw the 
impact every day that barriers to healthcare can have on a community. 
That is why over 100 local cities and jurisdictions support Medicare 
for All nationally.
  Medicare for All isn't just a commitment to address injustices in the 
healthcare system. It is an investment in the American people. We owe 
it to our country to prioritize healthcare, and Medicare for All is the 
way.
  Healthcare is a human right. Let's pass Medicare for All.
