Health care is a fundamental human right, not a profit center for private insurance companies and pharmaceutical cartels. Under the current broken system, tens of millions of Americans remain uninsured or underinsured, forced to choose between lifesaving medication and putting food on the table.
People Demanding Action demands an immediate end to the corporate juggernaut that treats human health as a commodity. We do not need incremental patch-jobs or market-based schemes that preserve insurance industry profits. We need a unified, comprehensive, single-payer healthcare system that covers every person living in the United States from cradle to grave.
Establish a single-payer, universal healthcare system that provides comprehensive coverage to every resident without premiums, co-pays, deductibles, or surprise out-of-pocket expenses.
Authorize direct public negotiation for all prescription medication prices, cap insulin and essential drug costs, and utilize federal march-in rights to produce generic versions of taxpayer-funded pharmaceuticals when private companies price-gouge.
Guarantee coverage for primary care, hospital visits, prescription drugs, mental health services, dental, vision, hearing, reproductive care, and long-term community-based eldercare.
Ban private insurance companies from offering duplicate coverage that competes with Medicare for All, eliminating hundreds of billions of dollars in administrative waste, executive bonuses, and overhead profits.
Redirect administrative savings into underserved rural and urban healthcare infrastructure, establishing community health centers and guaranteeing safe patient-to-nurse staffing ratios nationwide.
