Our country needs Medicare for All because every person must have access to affordable and comprehensive healthcare... Universal healthcare is necessary to correct these issues and to ensure that income, identity, or immigration status do not determine one's access to healthcare.
Support Medicare for All and universal healthcare so every person has access to affordable, comprehensive healthcare regardless of income, identity, or immigration status.

Assessments
The promise was framed as supporting Medicare for All and universal healthcare, not single-handedly enacting a federal universal healthcare system. Garcia publicly campaigned on that position and, in the same congressional term, became an original cosponsor of H.R. 1384, the Medicare for All Act of 2019. That is concrete federal legislative support aligned with the promise, even though Medicare for All did not become law.
Garcia promised to support Medicare for All and universal health care access. During the same congressional term, he took concrete legislative action by serving as an original cosponsor of H.R. 1384, the Medicare for All Act of 2019, which directly matches the promised policy position. The broader national outcome of universal health care was not enacted, but the promise was framed as support, and he fulfilled that support role through legislation.
