The next election will be decided by America’s sick.

America’s sick and high‑cost patients are framed as a powerful, emerging voting bloc that can decide the 2026 elections and reshape a profit‑driven health system that routinely harms them. 1/3

Thank you @murray.senate.gov for your legislation to block CMS's WISeR pilot! This program would use AI-assisted prior authorization in Medicare in 6 states starting 2026 & would delay/deny care, embed financial incentives to withhold services, & represents a step toward privatizing Medicare.

Spoiler alert: your $$$ went right into shareholders' pockets-and they still want more.

“Value-based care” in UnitedHealth’s Optum division apparently means fewer doctors for fatter margins. It made $4.3 billion in profit in the last 3 months by raising health care premiums & collecting billions more from the Medicare Trust Fund & seniors, a strategy of Profit over Patients.
