[ [link removed] ]The True Cost of Our Corrupt Healthcare System
Hi John,
[ [link removed] ]Americans are fed up with corporate greed and the way it's infecting
every aspect of our healthcare system.
It's a deadly spiral – broken systems and institutions driven by corporate
greed allow corruption to flourish. And who pays the price, both in health
and in our pocketbooks? Us, the everyday citizens.
While we can (and should) be angry about [ [link removed] ]the way our healthcare system
costs more and produces worse outcomes than in other developed countries,
[ [link removed] ]where we should focus our anger - and action - is on the system that
enables this totally legal corruption to flourish.
In 2024, [ [link removed] ]the entire healthcare sector spent over $500 million on
lobbying, more than any other industry 🤯 They lobbied to block reforms
like universal healthcare, drug pricing caps, and stricter oversight on
insurance practices, prioritizing profits over people.

Finance/Insurance/Real Estae, Communications/Electronics, and Misc

And it's a self-perpetuating cycle: currently, around 2,000 former members
of Congress or their staff now lobby for the healthcare industry. This
"revolving door" means lawmakers craft policies benefiting corporations,
and then cash in by working for those same corporations once they leave
office.
Change is possible. To fix the dysfunction in our healthcare, [ [link removed] ]we first
have to fix the broken and corrupt system that perpetuates it, with
reforms that
* [ [link removed] ]Strengthen campaign finance, ethics and lobbying laws
* [ [link removed] ]Make elections more representative, and
* [ [link removed] ]End partisan gerrymandering
All of which will make our political system stronger, more representative,
and less open to influence by the highest bidder.
[ [link removed] ]Corruption is a virus that is infecting our entire society. Are you
ready to stop the spread?
