Hey friends, just before we get started, I want to take a quick detour.

Later on in the episode, you're going to be hearing from Dr. Micah Johnson.

He's a resident physician at Brigham & Women's Hospital and my co-author on my upcoming

book, Medicare for All, A Citizens Guide.

Two years ago, Mike and I sat down and realized that despite Medicare for All taking center

stage in our political conversation, no one really put together a good book that answered

all the basic questions about what Medicare for All is, why we need it, and how we can make

it a reality.

We decided to write that book.

It's been a labor of love and we're incredibly proud of what we put together, a guide both

for those who are skeptical about Medicare for All, and for those who believe deeply in

it, but need to understand where it's going and what we need to do to get it done.

We wanted a one-stop shop for Medicare for All and we feel like our book's done just

that.

We're going to be talking later on in the episode about how we answered some of the toughest

questions people ask about Medicare for All.

Am I going to lose my choice of healthcare?

How much is it going to cost?

What's it going to do to jobs?

So if you're looking for a quick breakdown of Medicare for All, I hope you'll check it

out.

Now, we want this book to reignite the conversation about Medicare for All.
