The announcement follows a particularly successful year for Louis-Dreyfus. The actress recently took home an Emmy for Best Lead Actress in an Outstanding Comedy Series for her role in “Veep,” making it her sixth Emmy win in a row — a record.
Louis-Dreyfus’ call for universal healthcare is not her first foray into the political arena. She endorsed Barack Obama during both of his campaigns, endorsed Hillary Clinton in 2016, and has been a prominent environmental activist for several years now. Most recently, Louis-Dreyfus spoke out against Donald Trump’s travel ban during an acceptance speech at the 2017 Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
