A new report found that the for-profit US healthcare system ranks last among peer nations.

We spend twice as much per capita on healthcare and have the worst health outcomes.

Medical Debt

In America, 1 in 4 cancer patients declared bankruptcy or lost their homes to eviction or foreclosure in 2022, while 42% deplete their life savings within 2 years.

This is insane and unspeakable. Getting cancer should not cause bankruptcy. We must cancel medical debt.
