PHIMG Coalition - Grassroot voices demanding Medicare For All!

A generation of Americans is being raised with access to the internet and are steering clear of the corporate media bullshit and seeking out the truth.

Allow me to introduce you to one of them -- Justin Jones, age 16. He is a Video Blogger. He posts rants on the video sharing service YouTube to share with friends.

Justin's lives with his grandmother, a cancer survivor with a mountain of unpaid medical bills from the treatement that saved her life. She's now self-rationing the medical care she receives for her early stage liver failure because she has no health insurance, and is years from Medicare eligibility.

Naturally, Justin has a lot to say about healthcare reform - calling out obstructionist Republicans, crazy teabaggers, and even "sellout" Obama for standing in the way of the passage of healthcare reform, even modest incremental reform like giving people the option of buying into a publicly run insurance plan.

Unfortunately, Justin doesn't seem to be aware of the Medicare for All solution. This points out a need for the movement to do more outreach on the internet, on sites like YouTube and other sources of progressive news.

Justin laments: "This one hits home. My 62 year old grandmother has not a drop of health-care insurance... If we sold this house and all of our land..if we sold all of it we would still not have enough to pay for all the health-care expenses we've compiled in the past three years."

Watch the videos below. The kids are alright!
