In 1943, my father was one of the first people to introduce comprehensive health care reform in Congress, a single-payer system for all.

He spent the decade prior fighting like hell to pass Social Security & see it signed into law. And he did. Big nose & mustache in the back.pic.twitter.com/NechCqycRI

But his effort wasn't as successful in '43. The Wagner-Murray-Dingell bill to create a national health program ultimately died in committee.
-
He never would get to see universal health care become law. He passed in 55 and I decided to run to replace him, vowing to keep up his work.
-
In 1957--and every Congress thereafter--I'd reintroduce my father's bill & work to create a national program to take care of those in need.

I was a pup at the time, but I began working with my colleagues on Medicare legislation. Cecil King. Aime Forand. My dear friend John Moss.pic.twitter.com/Q033Fw2XGV

It took years to work through, but then-Speaker McCormack brought our bill to the floor in 65 and gave me the honor of gaveling its passage.pic.twitter.com/Zg1R2I86xu

It's tough to see in the photo, but I had McCormack & others sign the gavel. They made me sign too. All told, my pop would have been proud.

@SJRoadW Trump has a very high IQ, and with a little practice, may soon be able to spell 'tap' properly.@pooter03@JohnDingell@darth -
@TeflonDub@SJRoadW@JohnDingell@darth I'm old enough to remember when we were shocked a politician misspelled "potatoe"

@JohnDingell Sir, I work in Healthcare and I didn't know yours or your father's work. (Shame on me.) However, I appreciate it and this...pic.twitter.com/kiDcHFWq23 -
