In mid-June, Democratic congressional candidate Nina Turner launched a television ad campaign promoting her support for Medicare for All. Less than two weeks later, the pharmaceutical industry’s lobbyists and its bankrolled lawmakers on Capitol Hill are trying to block her election to Congress through an opponent who has been publicly vilifying Medicare for All amid the pandemic.

A 2018 poll showed that Medicare for All is wildly popular in Northeast Ohio — and Turner is running in a district that has been represented for nearly thirty years by lawmakers who have supported legislation to create a government-sponsored single-payer health care system. That includes Marcia Fudge, who left Congress to serve in President Joe Biden’s cabinet.

Pledging to carry on that legacy, Turner launched her television spot entitled “Worry” on June 15, in which she talks about how her family’s struggle to pay health care bills led her to support Medicare for All.
