In a year marked by a pandemic that has killed millions, CVS Health quietly made a $5 million donation to the number one dark-money lobbying group fighting Medicare for All.1
The health care giant, which owns Aetna health insurance and operates thousands of pharmacies, is now the largest-known donor to the Partnership for America’s Health Care Future, or PAHCF.
We need to hold CVS accountable and spread the word far and wide about their efforts to undermine Medicare for All. With enough pressure, we can force them to respond, put their reputation at risk, and set an example for what other companies can expect if they choose to put their profits over patients.

Hey @CVSHealth, this is not a good look.
We see you donating $5 million to fight Medicare for All and healthcare justice. It won’t work. Stop putting profits over patients in the middle of a pandemic. #PatientsOverProfits
PAHCF is the #1 dark money lobbying group against healthcare reform funded by big pharma and insurance executives who want to protect the billions in profit they receive each year from our illnesses.
You may have seen some of their deceptive commercials:
CVS Health knows that under Medicare for All, they won’t be able to price gouge patients on medications, and Aetna (which they own) won’t be able to deny coverage or surprise patients with massive medical bills.
That’s why they’ve spent $5 million so far to fight our movement, but it won’t work. Not only are we fighting corporations like CVS who are funding PAHCF, we’re also calling on politicians at all levels to take our Patients Over Profits pledge to reject campaign contributions from PAHCF.
Pharma and insurance money is corrupting our political system and blocking the transition to a single-payer health care system we need. But together we can stop the flow of funds and demand that our leaders represent us, not corporations.
With determination,
Nurses' Campaign to Win Medicare for All
