The pledge
Today, I signed the Patients over Profits pledge.
The pledge is a commitment to put patients before profits and to reject contributions over $200 from executives, lobbyists, and PACs affiliated with the corporate healthcare industry, including private insurers, pharmaceutical corporations, and private hospitals.
“CEOs and lobbyists for Big Pharma, corporate insurers, and private hospitals have formed a front group called Partnership for America’s Healthcare Future that wants to exploit our healthcare system to make money off of keeping us sick.
I pledge to put patients over profits and not take contributions over $200 from the executives, lobbyists, and PACs affiliated with the corporate health care industry, including private insurers, pharma corporations, and private hospitals who are organizing to take over our health care system.”
The pledge does not apply to rank-and-file workers employed by these corporations.
This builds on the commitment I made at the start of this campaign: I will not take corporate PAC money. I am committed to putting patients over profits and making sure healthcare policy serves the people who need care, not the corporations that profit from keeping our system broken.
