John,
A lobbyist group formed by massive health care conglomerates and Big Pharma is launching another attack on Medicare for All.
The subtly named “Partnership for America’s Health Care Future” is nothing more than a front for corporate interests to protect the for-profit insurance system. They’re dumping millions of dollars into an ad campaign to attack progressive ideals, and they’re using ads during tonight’s debate to do it.
Thankfully for us, these corporate propagandists aren’t all that great at covering their tracks. The Intercept acquired a leaked powerpoint presentation about their plans:
These shady groups operate in the shadows — as high powered executives collaborate in boardrooms to make talking points like these. They don’t want you to know their agenda. They barely even want you to know that they exist.
We’re different. Justice Democrat candidates unapologetically fight for campaign finance reform, Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, and an end to our system of mass deportation and incarceration. We want people to learn more about what we’re fighting for, to organize, and to participate in our democracy.
Here’s why we’re so disgusted: every dollar of profit those health insurance companies have earned came from denying services from someone who needed it. For them to turn around and use that blood money to then lobby against a system that would provide care for those same Americans is immoral.
It has no place in America. And when we pass Medicare for All, those profiteering insurance companies won’t have a place here either.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
