John,
I’ll be honest with you. In a moment, I’m going to ask for your support.
But first, I’d like to share a personal story about my health.
Thanks for taking a minute of your time to read. 🙏
A few years ago, I started to feel a heaviness around the lower right side
of my abdomen while lifting weights. Having gone to medical school, I knew
that the pressure I was feeling was likely a hernia, which about 30% of
men develop at some point in their lives.
Luckily, I wasn’t in pain, but I knew that if left untreated, there was a
chance it could develop into a potentially deadly condition.
To treat or not to treat? It should’ve been an easy decision.
However, the surgery required to heal my condition would cost several
thousand dollars, and that’s *with* insurance.
Ultimately, I decided I’d undergo the surgery. But had I not been insured
or able to cover my out-of-pocket costs, I would’ve been left with no
choice but to take on thousands in medical debt or ignore a hole in my
abdominal wall that could eventually kill me.
This is a tragically common problem under our broken healthcare system.
John, you and
most people reading this email have probably personally endured, or know
someone who’s endured, this same dilemma.
Medical debt is the leading cause of bankruptcy in this country, and it’s
a symptom of the broken, diseased system under which healthcare executives
get richer while the rest of us are forced into debt simply to stay alive.
The reason I’m sharing this story isn’t to prove how much I know about
hernias — or even to subtly mention that I lift!
I share this because I believe you shouldn’t have to win the lottery of
life to succeed in this country, the richest nation in the history of the
world.
I’m running for U.S. Senate because it’s long past time to change the
system that makes wealth the defining factor in whether you can build a
good, healthy life for your family.
