John,

On October 15th, Medicare open enrollment begins―and with it, a barrage of false advertising from private insurance corporations bashing traditional Medicare, driving seniors to choose privatized plans.

This PR campaign has chipped away at Medicare enrollments for decades, driving more and more seniors to privatized insurance corporations that make false promises about better care and lower costs. Their promises couldn’t be further from the truth.

Traditional Medicare promises simple, universal coverage and that’s what it delivers.

Privatized plans delay and deny necessary care. Their business model literally involves delaying care until people die in order to save money. And if that isn’t enough, they raid the Medicare trust fund with $75 billion in fraudulent charges every year.

During this Open Enrollment period, we’re standing up for Traditional Medicare and fighting back against Medicare privatization. Can you chip in $7 to our Medicare Defense Campaign?

Privatized plans Orwellianly call themselves Medicare Advantage. But the only ones who are at an advantage from those plans are greedy CEOs and Wall Street speculators who profit from death.

These corporate insurance giants spend millions every year on slick Madison Avenue firms to rope in more seniors who are just looking for a better deal. It’s a trick―but it’s an appealing one.

Instead of investing further in a private health insurance system, we should improve and expand traditional Medicare―allowing it to offer dental, vision, long-term care and hearing benefits that private plans use to differentiate themselves. Medicare’s promise of simple, universal coverage must be kept, not destroyed for the sake of profits.

We’re defending Medicare against privatized corporate plans. But we’re up against some of the biggest corporations in the world. We can win because we have the truth on our side―but we need your help. Can you chip in $7 today?

In solidarity,
