For years, private insurance companies have prioritized profits over people, driving up costs and denying timely care. Americans pay the highest healthcare costs globally while enduring subpar outcomes. Insurers wield their lobbying power to influence laws on Medicare, ACA policies, and drug pricing, amplifying corporate interests over patients and healthcare workers.
By imposing prior authorizations, high costs, and delaying care, they disrupt patient safety and workplace conditions for healthcare workers. It’s time to abolish private insurance and create a universal healthcare system that puts patients and healthcare workers first—healthcare is a right, not a business.
We:
Organized a robust public awareness campaign highlighting the harms of private insurance.
Through education and collective action, we are empowering patients and healthcare workers to demand a healthcare system free from corporate greed.
