John,
Big Pharma companies like Pfizer and Sanofi recently announced plans to jack up the prices of over 500 prescription drugs. The most ridiculous part: these corporations are raising prices in direct retaliation to Medicare negotiating lower prices on just 10 medications.
Big Pharma is predictably punching back so they keep raking in tens of billions a year by overcharging us for life-saving medications.
That’s why anything short of Medicare for All won’t work. Health insurance companies, Big Pharma, and hospital conglomerates will find ways to profit unless Bernie’s universal, guaranteed, free at the point of service M4A legislation is enacted.
Add your name: Support Bernie’s Medicare for All bill in 2024. We must keep building the groundswell for guaranteed health care for everyone. We can’t let big corporations continue to profit while people suffer.
Healthcare in America should be about health, not massive corporate profits. Not only are we being ripped off, with millions bankrupted, but people’s lives are being put at risk for pharma execs to buy another yacht. It’s sick.
Healthcare is a human right, not something that should be denied to people without the money to afford medication, a doctor visit, surgery, chemotherapy, mental health treatment, or any other kind of care.
It was a big deal that our movement successfully pushed Congress to crack the door open on drug price negotiation, but it wasn’t enough.
Recently on Capitol Hill, Rep. Ro Khanna directly called out Johnson & Johnson for charging $160,000 per year for a Leukemia drug while it sues the government over Medicare negotiating lower prices on just 10 drugs. The gross profits of Johnson & Johnson in 2023 was $65 billion — and corporate execs are still pulling out all the stops to protect their blood money. It is beyond shameful what these Big Pharma companies are doing — and getting away with.
Bernie’s Medicare for All bill is the answer to ensuring everyone has the health care they need. It’s the answer to the greed-driven insurance and pharma companies who care about profits more than patients.
Sign on to Bernie’s Medicare for All bill and the fight to continue building support for it in 2024.
When we organize, we win.
