MEDICARE FOR ALL

Astronomical health care costs and lack of access continue to drive individuals, families, and businesses past their breaking point while insurance companies continue to soak-up billions of health care dollars as millions of children’s basic needs go unmet.

Medicare has provided guaranteed health care for millions of seniors for more than 51 years. It’s time we have a Medicare for all, single-payer health care system that would end health disparities, effectively control costs, and assure that everyone has equal access to an excellent standard of care.

As the nation that spends the most on healthcare but has some of the worst health ratings overall, something has to change.

We are fighting for a taxpayer-funded comprehensive healthcare coverage plan, which for the average family would be cheaper than the monthly payment they currently get with a private company.

$3.73 billion was spent on lobbying overall in 2021 alone.

Lobbying has a 201,970% return on investment, on average.

Corporations’ and Trade Associations’ efforts comprise more than 84% of lobbying at the Federal level.

The U.S. is one of 43 countries that do not offer free or universal healthcare, and is the only “developed” country on that list.

Why should I subscribe and not just support my party or give to a nonprofit?

In short? Control. When you give to any other organization you give up control over where your money goes and what you actually contribute to. And let’s be honest, politicians only keep their promises sometimes. With Pillars, you support individual issues and vote along with people who believe in the same things on how to make it happen.

What happens if we don’t reach $5,000/month?

You can cancel or continue your subscription, and you and the other subscribers democratically decide what happens with the funds already gathered – whether that be a short-term lobbying effort, public awareness campaign, political donations, or whatever else you corporately decide!

Which lobbyist will we hire?

It’s up to you! (within reason). Once we reach a minimum monthly fund threshold, Pillars will compile a list of lobbyists within this particular niche, then filter that list down based on affiliation (which side of the issue they’re on) and cost, then bring the choices to the community of subscribers to decide.

What if you can’t find a lobbyist?

That’s highly unlikely. But in that event, there are typically three options available which you and the rest of the cause community will vote on: 1) contribute the funds to a nonprofit in the space, aiming for an agreement that they will only use those funds for this specific issue; 2) fund a public awareness campaign, or; 3) we will register and train Pillars employees on these specific issues, then go and lobby ourselves (but only with the express permission of the community)

What if we’re not successful?

So long as you’re committed, we’ll keep trying! Politics is (sometimes) a slow process – but progress is worth fighting for.
