SIGN NOW: We need Medicare for All in order to treat everyone during a pandemic

The ongoing pandemic has the potential to make Big Pharma's profiteering much, much deadlier.

Tell Congress: "Greedy pharmaceutical corporations already gouge patients with prices that are beyond belief. Big Pharma will absolutely try to soak patients with outrageous prices for any coronavirus treatments or cures that are released. In the middle of a public health crisis is no time to take chances on who can be treated. I urge you to pass the Medicare for All Act." ADD YOUR VOICE Friend, The ongoing pandemic has the potential to make Big Pharma's profiteering much, much deadlier. In the midst of a global pandemic, the vulnerabilities of America's for-profit health care system are laid bare. Sky-high prescription drug prices are already an obstacle for millions of Americans, but if a new treatment for the coronavirus is beyond the means of any Americans, it will dangerously lengthen the course of the pandemic. It's time to stop that threat before it happens, and enact Medicare for All! We need to build a health care system in this country that protects everyone. That means passing Medicare for All, so that health care is a human right. Sign the petition today demanding Congress pass the Medicare for All Act! Hopefully, there will be new treatments and cures available for the novel coronavirus at some point in the future. What will happen if Americans cannot afford that treatment? If you're one of the 27.5 million uninsured Americans, you will be struggling to afford this treatment and everyone else will be worse off if the coronavirus continues to spread. It's time to stop thinking that unlimited money to "keep Americans safe" can only be spent on planes and bombs. Already, over 60,000 American lives have been lost to the pandemic.[1] Donald Trump's Health & Human Services Secretary, a former Big Pharma executive, told Congress that he's more interested in ensuring that a COVID-19 vaccine will protect corporate profits, not the American people―even though the work to develop the vaccine is being funded with taxpayer dollars.[2] The reckless insistence that health care is a luxury only for those who can afford it is contributing to the spread of this pandemic, endangering even those who can afford health care. Medicare for All is the solution. It's time to make health care a human right. Sign the petition today!
