[1]NNU - Medicare for All!

Did you see this?

Last week, pharmaceutical giant Pfizer announced its plan to start
charging $1,390 for one five-day course of Paxlovid, a Covid-19 anti-viral
treatment.^1

What’s worse? It costs less than $14 to make. That’s more than a 10,000%
markup.

This is just the latest in a long line of Big Pharma companies
price-gouging crucial, life-saving medications — a costly symptom of our
broken, for-profit health care system here in the United States.

But you know what would solve it? Medicare for All.

We deserve guaranteed health care for all through a single-payer system
that would prevent health care corporations from profiteering off of
patients’ care, especially as we continue to face a deadly virus that
generated a global health crisis.

Together, we will continue to push our leaders to leave this broken system
behind by finally passing single-payer health care for all across the
country.

In solidarity,

Nurses’ Campaign to Win Medicare for All
