An open letter to Mark Cuban on why the Great Healthcare Plan fails patients. It leaves PBM power intact, ignores pricing abuse, and turns transparency into theater. Patients already know how often claims get denied. We live it every day.

The next national election will be shaped by a reality pollsters struggle to explain: one insurance letter or specialist bill can wipe out a family. What if Mark Cuban ran for president on healthcare, and only healthcare, treating it as the defining economic issue of American life?

You've disrupted drug pricing. Now help us disrupt the ballot. 19M cancer survivors and 133M Americans with chronic conditions are done being products. Patients are becoming a political force ready to vote out lawmakers who rig the system against us. The storm is here either way. Say yes or no.

And the sick shall inherit the ballotMark Cuban keeps explaining healthcare to people who already agree while patients keep losing coverage. In 2026 that dynamic breaks. Patients stop serving as anecdotes and start organizing as power. This year marks the rise of a voting bloc insurers and politicians fear.

Mark Cuban made real moves on pricing and insurance consolidation. He also missed where leverage lives. This dispatch breaks down the wins the blind spots and why organized patients move markets faster than panels podcasts or policy talk alone.

Mark Cuban got Optum CEO Patrick Conway on record supporting healthcare price transparency. That public commitment opens the door to harder questions about PBMs pharmacy closures and drug pricing abuses. Transparency was step one. Accountability comes next.
