It is 2026. The excuses are over. Healthcare is not an “entitlement.” It is a human right. Every developed nation on Earth recognizes this basic fact—every single one except the United States. That is not leadership. That is not freedom. That is national disgrace. The facts are not debatable. They are settled: • The United States spends more per person on healthcare than any country on Earth, nearly twice the average of other wealthy nations—yet Americans die younger, suffer far higher maternal mortality, and drown in medical debt. • Over 100 million Americans are burdened with medical debt. • One in five Americans delay or skip necessary medical care because they cannot afford it. That is not a healthcare system. That is financial punishment for getting sick. Cancer should not mean bankruptcy. Diabetes should not mean rationing insulin. Pregnancy should not be a life-threatening economic gamble. And yet, in the richest country on Earth, that is exactly what you have allowed. Canada. Germany. The United Kingdom. France. Japan. Australia. The Netherlands. Every one of them guarantees universal, affordable healthcare. Their systems differ, but they agree on one non-negotiable principle: illness should not destroy a person’s life. The United States stands completely alone among wealthy democracies in allowing sickness to routinely result in financial ruin. So answer this—clearly and honestly: Why are private equity firms allowed to buy hospitals, strip them for profit, and walk away—while Americans cannot afford insulin? Why has GoFundMe become one of the largest “healthcare financing” tools in this country? Why are insurance executives rewarded with multi-million-dollar bonuses for denying care? Stop pretending this is complicated. It is not. This is a choice—a deliberate decision to protect corporate profits over human lives. Americans are not asking for luxury. We are demanding basic dignity. As your constituent, I am demanding that Congress act—now: 1. Pass legislation that guarantees affordable healthcare for every American, not just those lucky enough to have employer-sponsored coverage. 2. End predatory pricing, abusive facility fees, and surprise billing—permanently. 3. Create a real, enforceable pathway to universal coverage, like every other developed nation already has. America invented Medicare. We know how to do this. What we lack is not knowledge. What we lack is political courage. Stop letting lobbyists write healthcare policy. Stop forcing Americans into medical bankruptcy. Stop serving insurance conglomerates, pharmaceutical giants, and Wall Street at the expense of human lives. Congress works for the people—not Cigna, not UnitedHealth, not private equity firms. You have the power to fix this.
