Warren's Healthcare Breakup Plan Could Flip Midterm Election
Democrats have a plan to win the midterms by addressing rising healthcare costs.
Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren's Break Up Big Medicine Act aims to split up large conglomerates that dominate the healthcare system, leading to higher prices and administrative burdens for patients.
Insurers like UnitedHealth Group generate billions in profits by pushing patients towards care at affiliated facilities, while pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) like those owned by UnitedHealth push patients towards affiliated pharmacies that often charge higher prices.
Polls show that voters overwhelmingly support bold healthcare reform, with nearly seven in ten insured Americans wanting to lower out-of-pocket costs or eliminate prior authorizations.
