It’s no secret that the U.S. healthcare system is a disaster. Corporate healthcare executives are raking in record profits while the rest of us have to pinch pennies just to see a doctor when we’re sick. Medical debt doesn’t exist in a vacuum – it’s a symptom of a healthcare system that incentivizes the pursuit of profit at the expense of patients, workers, and communities.
Healthcare should be a public good, not a commodity. We’re fighting to get debtors the immediate relief we need and building campaigns to demand systemic change and win universal healthcare for all. But to win, we’re going to need an even bigger movement.
Right now, we’re gearing up to launch a HealthWatch Organizing Cohort focused on the consequences federal healthcare cuts will have in communities across the country in the months ahead. Fill out this form to learn more and one of our organizers will be in touch about next steps!
