We're here to lift up the voices of American heroes and take on impossible fights.

BREAKING: We found 1,300,000 Americans with diabetes ration insulin due to cost.

Those without insurance had the highest rates of rationing at 30%.

This isn’t some awful phenomenon. This is a policy failure.

What’s the longest you’ve spent on phone calls with your health insurance company fighting a denied medical claim?

[Ady Barkan @AdyBarkan]

She was about to die, and the hospital turned her away.

Watch Paola’ s story below 📽️ and if you’re outraged by this system, help us fight back.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Health insurance companies try every trick in the book to get out of paying for health care (a.k.a. to get out of doing their job).

But if you get a claim denied, you aren't powerless. Join @BeAHero this Sunday for a virtual teach-in on how to fight back: https://t.co/ETMvANOQOt

I got a $15,000 bill for MRI scans my insurance should have covered. They said they "thought I had another form of insurance" (I did not.)

I fought back.

If you are facing a denied claim, @BeAHero wants to help you fight too. Join us Oct 2 at 6pm ET👉🏿 https://t.co/MulrQY0SPP

[Ady Barkan @AdyBarkan]

What could be more “medically necessary” than BREATHING? For insurance companies, denying claims like this one is just business as usual.

Moderna: “Can we pls pls pls borrow around $1 billion to make a vaccine that you will also be paying us to receive” 🥺👉👈

[CAP Action @CAPAction]

Spoiler: It’s none of them! All of these MAGA Republican senators voted to BLOCK a $35 insulin cap.

[The Patients Union @Patients_Union]

In our fight for funding for home care, hundreds of you shared your stories and told this Congress how critical home & community-based services are to your lives.

We are so grateful to our storytellers. We want to highlight some of your stories below 🧵

[The Patients Union @Patients_Union]

We will never stop fighting for the nearly one million people on waiting lists for home care and for underpaid and overworked caregivers.

a racket /a ˈrakət/
When your insurance company employs the doctor you’re seeing, owns the pharmacy they force you to use, and both negotiates the price of the medicines you need and determines whether your treatment will be covered.

[The Patients Union @Patients_Union]

Insurance companies make money by denying health care. That’s their business model. Our for-profit system is killing people.

[Ady Barkan @AdyBarkan]

Profit-hungry insurance companies should not be making calls about what is medically necessary and what’s not.

That’s your doctor’s job.

Damn, watch how this woman fought back against her insurance company.

Have you ever had a medical claim denied? Share the deets in the comments👇🏼

Doctors & nurses spend too much time dealing with admin tasks rather than seeing patients. Our healthcare system is incredibly frustrating—for patients & providers alike.
