John,
Under President Trump, the healthcare industry is raking in
record-breaking profits — while patients pay more, are denied care more
often, and live in fear of going bankrupt just for getting the care they
need to live.
Thanks to Trump’s 2017 tax law, seven of the largest healthcare
corporations avoided more than $34 billion in taxes. That’s a 75% increase
in profits.
And what did they do with all that money?
* Did they pass along savings to consumers and decrease costs?
* Did they deny fewer claims for sick patients?
* Did they finally give their workers a real raise?
Nope. They gave it to their top executives and shareholders. Six
executives — yes, just six — received a combined $100 million in
additional pay.
How do Trump and Republicans respond? By slashing Medicare — just to fund
even more tax breaks for the same greedy corporations.
And it only gets worse. As healthcare corporate executives profit, more
sick patients are being denied insurance claims — while the industry
doesn’t even try to hide how disgusting their practices have become.
Take Centene, a company that denies millions of claims every year, only to
have 93% of denials overturned when patients appeal. Their strategy is
clear: reject legitimate claims and hope the patient is too busy — or too
sick — to fight back.
John, this is
what happens when you treat healthcare like a business — not a human
right.
But we don’t have to accept it. In fact, we already know what the solution
is: Medicare for All.
It’s not radical — it’s what every other major industrialized country
does. But greedy corporations have funded a decades-long lobbying campaign
to control politicians' votes.
But that won’t work on me. I’ve fought for Medicare for All every single
day in Congress, and I’ve never taken a dime of corporate PAC money. I
know the only way we’ll ever break this cycle is with grassroots power —
and with people like you standing up and saying enough is enough.

Medicare for All.

Together, we’re building a movement to make Medicare for All a reality —
because no one in the richest country on Earth should be denied care so a
CEO can buy a second beach house.
In solidarity,
