Nurses know that we must advocate for the health care LGBTQIA+ patients need, from gender-affirming care to HIV/AIDS treatment. But once again, we find ourselves up against Big Pharma's greed.
Take Truvada — one of the main drugs used to prevent and treat HIV infection — for example:
This Pride Month, we're saying loud and proud: Our broken health care system should not keep anyone from getting the care they need — especially when it comes to critical drugs like Truvada.
While we fight to ensure affordable access to HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment, we also have a vision of a future with true health care justice: a health care system in which every person — regardless of age, race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, and more — can get the health care they need when they need it. That’s why we fight for Medicare for All.
Under a Medicare for All system, the government would have the ability to negotiate for much lower prices on life-saving drugs like Truvada. But if we want to win Medicare for All, we must take our fight directly to the pharmaceutical corporations that are standing in the way. That’s where our Patients Over Profits campaign comes in.
As part of this campaign, we're calling on our elected officials and candidates to reject contributions of over $200 from executives, lobbyists, and PACs affiliated with the hospital, insurance, and pharma industries. We know transforming our political system is key to transforming our health care system.
Thank you,
Nurses’ Campaign to Win Medicare for All
