To: Howard Schultz, Former CEO and Chairman of Starbucks

Here's how Howard Schultz is threatening cancer patients and survivors

He didn't run for President.

Don't run for President as an Independent, you will only help re-elect Trump and further erode progress made through the Affordable Care Act. #NoHowardNo!

Why is this important?

I'm a stage 4 cancer survivor, and the Affordable Care Act saved my life. 130 million Americans have pre-existing conditions, and we need to make sure that no more out-of-touch billionaires are elected President that will threaten our health care.

Howard Schultz is another unqualified billionaire businessman. He's mad that strong progressives like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Elizabeth Warren want the rich to pay their fair share, and so he's decided to run for President to stop this. 1

Schultz can't win as an Independent. But he can peel off just enough voters to act as a spoiler and re-elect Donald Trump.2

He's already hearing from the public that this is a terrible idea.3

He has been critical of popular bipartisan plans which will provide health insurance to all Americans at no cost to us. He's trying to water down one of the boldest progressive stances–healthcare for all–just to fuel his ego as yet another billionaire white man with no public service experience who thinks he has the right answers.

No!

We need to step it up and make sure Howard Schultz gets the message. We all cannot afford four more years of Trump and the GOP attacks on healthcare for cancer patients and those facing serious medical issues every day.
