At a moment when patients and consumers are facing 20% premium increases, more and more prior authorizations and denials, increasingly narrow networks, it's time for Congress to take action and clamp down on corporate greed in health care!

If you are someone who has been directly impacted by our broken, for-profit health care system, share your story with our team at c4hd.org/ShareMyStory — our advocacy team will get in touch to talk with you about your experiences!

Now, it's time for grassroots voices across the country to encourage elected officials from both parties to sign on as cosponsors and support the bill.

Got to c4hd.org/CallCongress to use our easy-to-use call tool to call your representative and both of your senators today!

CHD is proud to support this bill alongside @econliberties.bsky.social, @labor4singlepayer.bsky.social, @moveon.org, @pnhpnymetro.bsky.social, @publiccitizen.bsky.social, @socialsecurityworks.org, JustCare USA, Health Care for America NOW, and Puget Sound Advocates for Retirement Action.

In addition to Senators Merkley and Warren, and Representatives Hoyle, Ryan and Jayapal, the #PatientsOverProfits Act is cosponsored by @markey.senate.gov and @ocasio-cortez.house.gov

This bill will provide an urgently needed major fix to our for-profit health care system, and ensure providers can care for patients without the influence of greedy insurance corporations.

Now, it's time for Congress to take bipartisan action to protect patients from monopolization and profiteering in the health care system.

In our recent webinar, CHD's Director of Policy & Advocacy Dr. Rachel Madley walked through a patient's journey through the U.S. health care system, highlighting all of the ways in which corporations like UnitedHealth Group impact your health care from cradle to grave.

Just today, John Hopkins Medicine announced that they would not stay in network with UnitedHealth. When United owns 90,000 doctor offices, they have more leverage against hospital systems and provider networks that are not under their control.

Not only does this vertical integration result in more profits for United, but it means more control over the health care system.
