John, the fight to end medical debt is heating up right now, and you can make an impact.
Our work to expose the role of hospitals in the medical debt crisis is paying off! A recent New York Times story and a new report by Human Rights Watch are opening many eyes to how “charity” hospitals are raking in billions in tax breaks while failing to provide care to those who need it.
This is why we’re organizing patient activists from our membership ranks all across the country to demand action from Congress and the White House and call out hospital chains, credit card companies, and anyone who profits from this sickness in our healthcare system.
We’re coordinating inside and outside actions, investing our resources in this winnable fight, but it costs money. We hope you’ll invest in our patient advocates and their work as a team by setting up a recurring monthly donation of $5, $10, or $27 ASAP.
Let me tell you about one of our patient activists: D’Anne M. of Arizona. After beating cancer multiple times, D’Anne, 72, now lives with her daughter after losing everything - including $250,000 she’d saved up for retirement!
It’s okay to be angry. But more than getting mad, we need to get active. Hospitals are price-gouging patients and deploying predatory collection tactics. Many go broke, and others skip treatments that could cut short their lives.
D’Anne and our patient activists are not alone. Nearly 100 million Americans owe nearly $200 billion in medical debt. That’s one heck of a coalition if we all stand together. Pitch in a recurring donation today to help fund this fight!
No one should have to skip medical treatment for fear of cost or choose between groceries and medical bills — especially while hospitals rake in billions in profits, mostly from taxpayer dollars!
When we organize, we win,
Our Revolution
