The largest insurance company in the country just recorded its highest
profit in a quarter ever while thousands are dying and millions are losing
their jobs.

UnitedHealth reported more than $6.6 billion in profits in just three
months as COVID-19 has delayed non-emergency medical services and less
people are getting the care they need – meaning insurance companies are
making fewer payments to doctors and hospitals.^1 Meanwhile, an estimated
27 million Americans lost their employer-sponsored health insurance in
that same time period during a global pandemic.

There’s no denying the facts. Insurance companies make money when we
don’t get the health care we need. Their business model depends on less
people getting care because it’s what drives profits – and that’s why they
constantly seek to deny coverage.

We need a health care system that’s built to prioritize delivering health
care – not denying it in order to maximize profit. We need Medicare for
All.

key role to play. Will

Corporations like UnitedHealth have billions of dollars in profits to lose
if we reform the system. That’s part of the reason why Medicare for All
would save so much money, and why they’re willing to spend so much to make
sure our movement fails.

In order to overcome their influence over our government, we need to build
independent political power and change the landscape until it’s impossible
for our leaders to ignore the demands of millions of people actively
calling for change.

There are millions of people in the country that say they support Medicare
for All yet haven’t taken any sort of action to make it happen. Public
opinion is on our side, but if we aren’t able to translate some of that
support into active involvement in our movement, it will be nearly
impossible to win. 

During the training, you’ll learn how to use your personal relationships
and connections to turn passive supporters of Medicare for All into active
ones.

you.

Our mission is to support and train activists like you to have
conversations with your friends and family and invite them to take one of
the following action steps:

* Join a Medicare for All 101 webinar (perfect for new folks) or a
COVID-19 public education webinar
* Sign up directly to receive alerts about the campaign  
* Participate in our August 22nd Day of Action 
* Attend a virtual legislative meeting with their representative 
* And more! 

Thank you so much for reading this far, and we really hope to see you on a
training this week.

In solidarity,
