A New York Times report from the past weekend makes it clear: Private health care companies do not care about patients — only profits. They use elaborate systems to make patients appear as sick as possible, costing us billions of dollars a year.1
We’ve been telling you for months about our fight against one of those health care giants, CVS Health. We’ve put a lot of pressure on CVS in the past year — organizing together across the country, orchestrating petitions and panel discussions, Covid-safe in-person actions, and making hundreds of phone calls to executives.
A few weeks ago, nurses and Medicare for All supporters gathered in Las Vegas to deliver our 35,000 petition signatures behind our demand that CVS permanently and publicly cut ties with the anti-Medicare for All corporate front group: The Partnership for America’s Health Care Future.
CVS responded to our action, but their response was wholly inadequate. That’s why we’re showing up at CVS stores across the country this Saturday to not only reach hundreds of their customers but also put pressure on CVS Health leadership to take a stand.
We need your help to spread the word about CVS’s shameful stance and show your support for the volunteers taking action across the country this weekend. Please watch and share our video from our Las Vegas action to tell CVS: Stop gambling with patients’ lives!
This fight is going to take all of us — thank you for showing your support.
Onward,
Nurses’ Campaign to Win Medicare for All
