SUMMARY

The time is now! Several events and movements have made 2025 a pivotal year for opportunity—and for change. A year for building. While unequivocally condemning violence and the tragic murder of the UnitedHealthcare CEO, this incident appears to be a symptom of a much larger issue. The degree of corporate influence exerted by the insurance industry, big pharma, and the food industry has become a blight on society, particularly affecting patients and healthcare professionals.

(Un)likely heroes—Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson, Brigham Buhler, Shawn Baker, MD, and many others—are emerging to bring this story to the forefront for the general public. A public that finally seems to be waking up to the failures and tragedies of a healthcare system that is rigged, unethical, and harming Americans. This is a system designed internally to maximize corporate profit at the expense of the health and financial well-being of patients and healthcare professionals alike.

Let’s collaborate, partner, and organize! If you’re a physician or healthcare professional, join the Merge Medical Network. If you’re a decision-maker for a company, community, or non-profit, join the Healthcare Change Consortium—either as an active member or a sponsor. Let’s make some noise, but more importantly, let’s build solutions together.
