John,

I wanted to be sure you saw Michael's email. After this week's NBC Nightly News report that peeled back the corporate-funded misinformation about privatized healthcare, a LOT of people have asked me: What can we do to save Medicare from privatization?

Michael's message below outlines our strategy--but it only works if we all stand together. Can you pitch in $7 today to save Medicare from corporate greed?

-- MICHAEL'S EMAIL --

John,

In 2023, for the first time ever, more than half of seniors on Medicare are enrolled in a for-profit plan, not traditional Medicare.

Report after report has shown that many of these private, for-profit plans deliver worse health outcomes and ultimately cost more. But they’re still growing because profit-seeking corporations can spend billions in marketing every year.

How do we stop the privatization of Medicare? We do it one step at a time.

Our plan to save Medicare is below―but can you pitch in $7 to help us execute it?

Step one: We raise awareness among seniors during the open enrollment period. That’s why we teamed up with Jon “Bowzer” Bauman from Sha Na Na to make a series of viral videos about the secret underbelly of privatized healthcare plans.

Step two: We build resistance in Congress. For years, a healthcare lobbying group has kept members of both parties in lockstep, supporting their profit-driven plans that deliver worse outcomes. But because of work that Social Security Works has done, more and more members of Congress are speaking up to criticize corporate healthcare greed!

Step three: We mobilize the public against further privatization of Medicare. When Donald Trump launched a scheme to shift people in traditional Medicare over to for-profit plans, we submitted hundreds of thousands of official comments in opposition. We sent a clear message that we are watching―and we won’t stop until Medicare is safe.

Threats to Medicare are everywhere―from MAGA Mike Johnson’s fiscal commission to insidious privatized plans, we must fight on all sides and win every time. That’s what Social Security Works does. Donate today to keep up the fight!
