I, like many others, am burdened by the devastating impacts of the current healthcare landscape. Friends, family, neighbors, every day I see people I care about suffering not just from ill health, but also drowning in medical debt. Too many have been driven to bankruptcy, their lives irreversibly impaired due to mounting medical bills. Some have even had to deny themselves potentially lifesaving treatments, thwarted by insurance companies' denials of coverage.

The grim navigation of vast healthcare expenses is not limited to just a few of us, it is a grim reality plaguing numerous Americans. According to HealthCare.gov, 137 million people in the USA faced financial hardship because of medical costs in 2019. This alarming statistic speaks to the unyielding hold of for-profit healthcare providers and insurance companies.

Our demand is simple - we insist on a transformation, one that mandates healthcare providers and insurance companies operate as non-profit entities. This change will mean helping populations in desperate need, allowing fair access to healthcare, and easing the financial burdens faced by millions.

It is clear that the current model, where providers and insurance companies primarily operate for profit, is beyond unsustainable. The silent suffering of millions is testament to this. Now is the time to shift to a model that truly serves the people: healing and protecting lives rather than draining them of their resources.

Sign this petition to help us compel our lawmakers to transform how healthcare providers and insurance companies operate - from profit-seeking corporations to non-profit organizations that truly serve the public's health needs. Let's fight together for a healthier future!
