If you missed the national call on Wednesday night, we have a pretty exciting update for you: We are proud to officially launch the Patients Over Profits campaign.
For decades, insurance and pharma behemoths have bled working families dry in the endless pursuit of money. And they maintain that system by lining Congress’ pockets with hundreds of millions of dollars every election cycle.
But in the last two years — something even more sinister has happened. As the movement for Medicare for All has grown, these special interests came together to form a corporate front-group called the Partnership for America’s Health Care Future. This group has the sole intent of spending millions on disinformation campaigns, ads, and lobbying to stop any major health care reform, particularly Medicare for All.
It’s time for us to directly confront their political influence. We know that campaign contributions are one of the key ways that they keep members of Congress in their pockets. That’s why we’ve launched the Patients Over Profits Pledge — to call on our elected officials to reject donations from all health care corporations affiliated with the Partnership.
Please visit our brand new website, PatientsOverProfits.org, to find out how YOU can join this effort. Make sure you hit the “Take Action” button at the top!
Every day nurses see the devastation and harm caused to patients by profit-driven insurance and pharma corporations. And, until we win Medicare for All, that devastation is going to continue.
So we’re urging our elected officials and those seeking office to cut ties with these corporations that bankroll the efforts to prevent any health care reform. And in order to really make this effective, we’ll need as much grassroots power as we can get.
We can’t wait to work alongside all of you in this next phase. It’s been less than 48 hours, and we already have politicians reaching out to sign the pledge. Your support will make this work even more successful.
And if you’re a politician or aspiring candidate — or know one who may be interested — please make sure you visit and share!
In solidarity,
Jasmine Ruddy
