Backing Politicians Who Attack Public Health
HCA reportedly supports organizations and politicians who work against access to living wages, affordable healthcare, and voting rights for marginalized communities. HCA’s Florida Political Action Committees have funneled huge campaign dollars to right-wing PACs that give millions to Governor Ron DeSantis, who has fought against expanding Medicaid, fair voting, and LGBTQ rights.
