We the Patients: A Movement for Cancer Patients' Rights

America treats patients like a nuisance. Cancer survivors, caregivers, and families get buried in denials, bills, and bureaucracy while the system congratulates itself for providing care. This is unacceptable.

The Urgency of Our Cause

Other movements rose when survival demanded it. ACT UP forced action during the AIDS crisis. Breast cancer activists made research urgent. LIVESTRONG made survivorship visible. Stupid Cancer gave young adults their voice. Yet, nineteen million cancer patients alive today, along with their families, have never been organized into a real rights movement.

We the Patients exists to change that.

No More Empty Promises

No more photo ops and ribbon cuttings. No more advocacy that leaves patients smiling for cameras while the real decisions happen somewhere else. We demand actual rights. We need navigation from the day of diagnosis. We need protection from bills that bankrupt families. We need a patient bill of rights that cannot be ignored.

Our Mission

The mission is simple. Nineteen million patients and survivors, plus thirty-five million caregivers, equal the largest constituency in the country. Candidates will have to answer to us. Corporations will have to answer to us. Patients vote. Survivors vote. Caregivers vote.

We the Patients exists because no one gave cancer patients a Miranda warning.

Your Rights as a Patient

You have the right to information.

You have the right to a human guide.

You have the right to not be bankrupted for getting sick.

You have the right to fight cancer instead of the system.
