Our federal government is in court today trying to take away health care from our families, our friends, and our neighbors.

Join us in the fight to #SaveTheACA.
Our argument is simple:

✅ Every American should get the care they need.
✅Health care is a right, not a privilege.
✅ It’s time for the federal government to stop sabotaging access to health care in this country.

#ProtectOurCare
In Massachusetts, we have some of the best hospitals, doctors, and nurses in the world—and we have organizations like @HCFA that have worked to bring health care to millions of Americans. Image
Republicans in Washington are obsessed with taking away people’s health care.

Our fight to protect the #ACA isn’t just about the law—it’s about our country, our values, and whether we take of one another. #ProtectOurCare Image

Three years ago, when I filed the first lawsuit against the Sackler family, I made a promise to the families who have lost a loved one to the opioid crisis—I would expose the full truth of what Purdue and the Sacklers had done.

Today, I am announcing the resolution of our case.
Under this resolution, the Sacklers will pay $4.3 billion—$90 million to Massachusetts—we believe the most that individuals have ever paid for breaking the law.

And, due to our demands, this resolution will secure the largest public disclosure in history.
Purdue will post online every piece of evidence from every lawsuit and investigation, plus 20 million documents never given to investigators before, including communications with their lawyers. Families, regulators, journalists, public health officials—we will see what they did.

REMINDER:

While the federal government encourages vaccine providers to ask for ID and health insurance information, people CANNOT be turned away if they do not have an ID, Social Security numbers, or health insurance. It may even be illegal. Learn more: bit.ly/id-eng
Aunque el gobierno federal alienta a los proveedores de vacunas a solicitar información de identificación y seguro médico, las personas NO PUEDEN ser rechazadas si no tienen identificación, número de seguro social o seguro médico. Incluso puede ser ilegal. bit.ly/id-sp

While you were sleeping, OxyContin manufacturer Purdue Pharma filed its bankruptcy plan that would hide damning documents from the public, force the govt to own an opioid business, and protect billions of its owners, the Sacklers.

Here are my thoughts.
nytimes.com/2021/03/16/hea…
The Sacklers want to use the disaster they created as leverage to buy immunity at a bargain price. Under the terms of this deal, they will walk away richer.

It's not a settlement, it's an insult.
The law requires a bankrupt company to disclose information that creditors need to make an informed judgment before a plan is approved. But Purdue says it will show the evidence to the public after the Sacklers get immunity.

Huh.

NEW: We are suing Libre by Nexus, a company that built a business preying on immigrants held in federal detention centers by offering to pay for the bonds to secure their release, trapping immigrants and their families in costly monthly fees, and cheating them out of thousands.
Libre misleads families with confusing contracts suggesting they offer free legal services. In reality, it charges huge fees and hefty monthly payments that don't go towards the bond at all, even forced them to pay for and wear a GPS tracking device.
We started investigating after hearing complaints that Libre was targeting immigrants and their families from the South Shore & Bristol County, to Pioneer Valley & across Boston.

The stories we’ve heard are heartbreaking. Libre used scare tactics to cheat people & make a profit.
