Target: U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), U.S. Congress, Federal Reserve Board
Goal: We call on federal regulators and lawmakers to increase transparency and accountability in Wall Street investments, protect consumers from rising healthcare costs, and ensure that economic policies prioritize the well-being of people over corporate profit
The recent surge in UnitedHealth's stock price following Berkshire Hathaway's increased investment highlights a troubling trend: Wall Street profits are soaring while ordinary Americans struggle with unaffordable healthcare and economic instability. Meanwhile, Bank of America's share price fell after a partial stake sale, and other companies like Applied Materials are facing challenges due to weak demand and trade policies.
Despite record highs for the Dow Jones, these gains are not translating into real improvements for working people. Healthcare costs continue to rise, and economic policies such as tariffs and interest rate changes often benefit large investors while leaving vulnerable communities behind.
We demand that regulators and lawmakers take immediate action to ensure transparency in major stock transactions, prevent profiteering in the healthcare sector, and prioritize economic policies that serve the public interest. It's time to put people before profits and build an economy that works for everyone.
