John,
Last week, Bernie called in the CEOs of Big Pharma companies to face questions in front of the Senate HELP committee about sky-high prices for life-saving medications, corporate stock buybacks and record corporate profits.
It’s no surprise: Big Pharma defended putting profits ahead of people. But healthcare in America should be about health, not massive corporate profits and CEO bonuses. Healthcare should be about saving lives, not enriching shareholders with stock buybacks. That’s why we need Bernie’s Medicare for All bill.
Add your name: We need Medicare for All in America! It’s time for Bernie’s universal, guaranteed, free at the point of service health care system.
Not only are we being ripped off by giant pharma corporations, with millions bankrupted, but people’s lives are being put at risk so Big Pharma execs can buy another yacht. It’s sick.
During the hearing, Bernie broke down just one example of Big Pharma’s greed — jacking up the price of a drug that helps prevents strokes so that CEOs can continue raking in big bonuses and record profits:
This is why anything short of Medicare for All won’t work. Health insurance companies, Big Pharma, and hospital conglomerates will find ways to profit unless we have single payer healthcare.
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.
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.
Put Big Pharma CEOs on notice: Sign on to Bernie’s Medicare for All bill and the fight to continue building support for HEALTHCARE FOR EVERYONE in 2024.
When we organize, we win.
Our Revolution
