Tell Congress: Pass the Patients Over Profits Act

Health care has become a Wall Street racket. 

UnitedHealth and other insurance giants are swallowing up doctors’ offices and clinics, turning places of care into profit mills. The result? Skyrocketing costs, denied treatments, and patients left to suffer while CEOs rake in billions.

That’s why Rep. Pat Ryan, Sen. Jeff Merkley, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Rep. Pramila Jayapal, and others just introduced the Patients Over Profits Act. This bill would ban insurers from owning and controlling health care providers, finally ending the corrupt practice of insurers acting as both referee and player in our health system. Now, it’s time for Congress to pass it.

Tell Congress: “Don’t let healthcare profiteers buy up our local clinics. Pass the Patients Over Profits Act.”

UnitedHealth already controls tens of thousands of clinics nationwide. This monopoly power means higher costs, worse care, and more denials. 

ProPublica recently revealed how profit-driven hospitals even put psychiatric patients at risk—all to boost billing. The evidence is clear: when insurers run the show, patients suffer.

The Patients Over Profits Act is our chance to put people back at the center of health care. It would stop corporate middlemen from calling the shots and restore the principle that medical decisions belong to doctors and patients—not Wall Street executives.

But this bill won’t pass unless we raise our voices now. Republican leaders in Congress are already lining up with their insurance industry donors to block it. The only way to break their grip is for the public to demand action.

Add your name today and demand Congress pass the Patients Over Profits Act—because our health should never be for sale.

The petition to Congress reads: “Don’t let healthcare profiteers buy up our local clinics. Pass the Patients Over Profits Act.”
