Today's the day.
Medicare for All activists are taking action at CVS stores across the country to send a clear message to CVS Health: We won't accept your efforts to undermine Medicare for All.
In May, news broke that CVS Health, the largest health care corporation on the planet, had quietly become the largest single donor to the corporate effort to stop Medicare for All.1
So we got to work right away launching a massive social media campaign to expose their efforts to block health care reform, collected over 30,000 petition signatures, and drove hundreds of calls to their corporate headquarters during their annual shareholder meeting. Now, we’re taking our fight straight to their doorsteps.
CVS Health knows that under Medicare for All, they won’t be able to price gouge patients on medications, and the insurance company Aetna (which they own) won’t be able to deny coverage or surprise patients with massive medical bills. Plain and simple, they’re choosing to put profits over patients, and we won’t stand for it.
We know that Medicare for All is the popular, necessary, and urgent solution to a broken, for-profit health care system. But corporate health care money is corrupting our political system, blocking the transition to the single-payer system we need.
Together, we can stand up to corporate greed and begin to build a health care system that puts patients over profits.
