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?
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.
Chip in $3 or whatever you can to help fuel my work for 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,
Pramila Jayapal
