A new lawsuit just pulled back the curtain on what’s driving too many health care decisions today: Wall Street investors are suing UnitedHealth — not for denying too much care, but for approving too much. Their goal? Force the company to deny more patient care to boost profits.

We heard from Diann in Michigan, who shared in a petition that she is forced to dip into her savings to travel out of country for oral surgery. Now in her seventies, her Rheumatoid Arthritis medication has taken a significant toll on her teeth; when presented with a $38,000 price tag for this necessary care, Diann's insurance would only cover $1,000 of the total cost.



This is exactly why we fight for a health system that puts people over profit — and the public is with us.

Our latest research with HIT Strategies shows that 73% of voters — across parties — believe our health care system needs major change or a complete rebuild. 

75%

of Democrats

76%

of Independents

67%

of Republicans

Voters overwhelmingly support policies to fix the system: 

83%

support requiring insurance to cover dental care

75%

support removing all medical debt from credit scores

And it’s personal. Last year, 55% of voters are struggling to afford health care or insurance. Nearly 2 in 5 have some form of medical debt. 

This lawsuit is a warning: without bold action, Wall Street will keep putting profits ahead of our health.
