The Patients Union

Why are health insurance corporations allowed to play doctor when we have, y'know, actual doctors? Medical decisions belong to ourselves and our trusted physicians! What the hell(thcare).

We have the money. We have the know how. It's past time we ensure quality healthcare for each and every patient in this country.

"Trump and Republicans in Congress are considering diverting money from [ACA] premium subsidies into HSAs." - Forbes What the hell(thcare).

Illness should not lead to lawsuits. Medical crises should never turn into financial ruin.

The math isn't mathing. We're told we can't afford Medicaid, we can't afford the ACA, we can't afford universal healthcare. But we have hundreds of billions of dollars for a new, unnecessary war, of course 🙄

They were doing a price check on his life. Getting care should never mean risking your paycheck, your home, or your future.

Caregivers are essential in keeping so many families together, often becoming family themselves. This National Caregivers Day, we recognize their love and labor as we continue to fight for a world where patients can get the care they need and caregivers everywhere can earn a living wage. To all caregivers: Thank you 💙

This is where we are at with our healthcare system. Insurance corporations rake in billions of dollars for CEOs and shareholders while even celebrities’ families have to crowdfund for their care. #CrowdfundingIsNotHealthCare

"We don’t have that kind of extra money." "We took the gamble." "I keep praying we don’t have an accident." That's not how we should be talking about health care. This is not normal. independent.co.uk/us/money/healt…

Anyone considering running for office needs to know: Voters are taking health care to the ballot box. washingtonpost.com/health/2026/01…

"I've never been anti-vaccine," says the country's prominent source of vaccine misinformation who fired the Advisory Committee on Immunizations Practices panel and replaced them with vaccine skeptics.

What resources are available in your state that have helped you navigate the healthcare system?

We've heard from so many people about their premiums doubling, tripling, quadrupling. No one should ever have to choose between paying for health care or their home. #FundOurHealthcare NOW. Call your senators and demand they extend the ACA tax credits so many of us rely on: heroes.win/StopPremiumSpi… wsj.com/health/healthc…

For Congress, healthcare cuts might look like numbers on a spreadsheet. For Robin, it’s life or death. Stop gambling with our lives. Fund our health care. Extend the ACA tax credits.

Congress had a choice this summer—and they got it wrong. They could have protected funding that keeps ACA plans affordable for millions. What did they choose to pass instead? Cuts to SNAP, cuts to Medicaid and Medicare, and astronomical funding increases for ICE. #FundHealthcareStopICE

Don't get it twisted. Health insurance is expensive because insurance corporations are driven by profits. #CorporateGreed #PatientsOverProfits

On CNN, @dank makes an important point: we could not have healthcare, but we can afford to spend $30 billion on ICE and DHS. #DemsUnited #FundHealthcareStopICE

Enrollment is down more than 800,000 from last year. This isn’t people “choosing less coverage.” It’s people getting priced out of the care they deserve. The House has already acted to extend premium help for three more years—now the Senate needs to do the same. Call your senator and tell them to STOP PREMIUM SPIKES: heroes.win/StopPremiumSpi… win.newmode.net/stoppremiumspi…

Exhibit 1 of Mike Johnson "returning the dignity of work to young men who need to be out working instead of playing videogames all day." All the GOP has done with our health care is turn the tables against workers and small business owners. benefitspro.com/2026/01/20/few…

Greedy insurance companies exist to bleed us dry. Get them out of our health care! #PatientsOverProfits #CorporateGreed
