Affordable Healthcare Now

Minnesota • Patients before profits

Healthcare shouldn'tcost usour health.

Every day, Minnesotans are skipping prescriptions, delaying care, and draining our savings because healthcare costs too much. For too long, corporations have extracted obscene profits from our healthcare system. It's time to build a Minnesota where getting care doesn't mean going broke — and where patients, not corporate profits, come first.

Patients Before Profits • Care We Can Afford • Affordable Healthcare Now

What's at stake

The corporate takeover of our healthcare is bankrupting and killing Minnesotans.

No matter where we live, how much money we've got, or what we look like, we all deserve quality healthcare we can afford.

An empty hospital corridor with a gurney parked against the wall

But right now, massive hospitals and private insurance companies put their bottom lines above the health and wellbeing of everyday people. In 2025 alone, UnitedHealth Group — a homegrown company based here in Minnesota — reported nearly $450 billion in revenue. That's hundreds of billions of dollars taken away from improving our quality of care, expanding medical services, wiping medical debt, or letting someone afford their next appointment or a life-saving operation.

And UnitedHealth Group is just one insurance company. But the problem isn't just insurance companies.

Many executives have turned hospitals into profit-hungry machines. Hospital leadership have surged executive compensation packages and administrative costs. Some reports indicate hospitals on average spend twice as much money on overhead as they do on direct patient care. As we're seeing in two instances right now in Minnesota, hospitals are buying up their competitors to corner the market so they can raise healthcare prices and cut services — both to keep profit margins climbing year over year.

But if you're reading this now, you probably don't need to be persuaded. Most people recognize our healthcare system is broken. You might even have a personal story where you faced it yourself.

So the question is: what are we going to do about it?

  • Rein in corporate consolidation.

    Stop hospital and insurer mergers that corner local markets, raise prices and cut services.

  • Open the books.

    Require public reporting on profits, executive pay, claim denials and administrative overhead.

  • Protect coverage.

    Defend Medicaid and MinnesotaCare from federal cuts that would push families off coverage.
