Single Payer Health Care


The New York Times recently said: “Grass-roots opposition to the bill ... swayed members of Congress in a way rarely seen on Capitol Hill.” The pressure that citizens have been putting on legislators is having an effect. Let’s keep the pressure up and start pushing for what should be our real goal: the institution of a single-payer system.

There is a bill before the House called the Expanded and Improved Medicare for All Act, H.R. 676, introduced by John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI-13) and co-sponsored by 115 Democratic Members of Congress.

Action:

  1. Read (or skim!) this informative article: http://egbertowillies.com/2017/07/18/single-payer-within-medicare-for-all/
  2. Look at the list of co-sponsors of the Bill.  If your MoC is on the list, please contact him/her to say thank you. If your MoC is not on the list, please contact them to ask them to become a co-sponsor.
  3. The bill is still trying to do a Rasputin, so contact your senators again to say NO!
