HEALTHCARE FOR ALL
WE BELIEVE HEALTHCARE IS A HUMAN RIGHT.
Healthcare is essential to human life. No one should have to delay care, ration medication, avoid treatment, or fight an insurance company for the care they need.
Every person deserves access to quality healthcare, including primary care, emergency care, mental healthcare, substance use treatment, reproductive healthcare, dental care, vision care, long-term care, and care for aging and disabled people.
Healthcare should be organized around human need, not corporate profit.
RIGHT NOW, TOO MANY GRANITE STATERS CANNOT GET THE CARE THEY NEED.
Across New Hampshire, families are squeezed by rising premiums, deductibles, copays, prescription drug prices, and medical debt. People stay in jobs they cannot afford to leave because their healthcare is tied to employment. Others delay care until a health issue becomes a crisis.
In rural communities, people may have to travel long distances for basic services. Hospitals and clinics face financial strain. Mental health and substance use treatment remain too hard to access. Seniors, disabled people, and caregivers are forced to navigate systems that are underfunded, fragmented, and exhausting.
At the same time, private insurance companies, pharmaceutical corporations, hospital executives, and other healthcare profiteers continue to make money from a system that denies care, shifts costs, and treats patients like revenue streams.
THIS IS NOT INEVITABLE.
The healthcare crisis is not caused by individual failure. It is caused by a system that allows corporations to profit from people’s illness, pain, and fear.
For-profit private insurance is built around restricting access to care. When insurance companies deny claims, narrow networks, raise premiums, or force patients through complicated approval processes, they are not failing at their job. They are doing what the current system allows them to do: protect profits.
A humane society should not make healthcare dependent on employment, income, age, disability status, or ability to navigate bureaucracy.
RAD NH IS ORGANIZING FOR HEALTHCARE FOR ALL.
RAD NH believes healthcare should be guaranteed to everyone and organized around human need.
We support defending and expanding public healthcare programs, including Medicaid, Medicare, reproductive healthcare, mental healthcare, substance use treatment, long-term care, and rural healthcare access. We support moving toward a universal healthcare system that ensures every person can get the care they need without being denied, bankrupted, or forced to fight for basic treatment.
We organize patients, caregivers, healthcare workers, families, and community members to tell the truth about the healthcare system, hold decision-makers accountable, and build the political power needed to put people over profit.
WHAT WE ARE FIGHTING FOR
A New Hampshire where healthcare is universal, affordable, accessible, and built around human need, not corporate profit.
