The Problem:
Almost 44 million people in the U.S. are totally uninsured, and another 40 million are uninsured during some part of every year. Another 80 million are only partially covered.  Worst of all, most people who don't have healthcare insurance have full time jobs.

The Solution:
Secure a system of comprehensive national healthcare for everybody in the United States.

If we join together, we can get the national healthcare system we need now. We can provide coverage for healthcare, prescription drugs, mental health, dental, optical and long-term care. We can afford it NOW. We can't afford not to have it. All of this has been written into House Resolution 676, the United States National Health Insurance Act, now before Congress.


Single Payer Animated Presentation
Here's a very simple animated explanation of the single-payer universal health care system. It was put together by Graham Walker, a medical student at Stanford University and former staff member of Physicians for a National Health Program.

Rally/Conference -- We Did It!

THIS EFFORT IS NOT EASY
- AND IT COSTS MONEY!

The struggle to get a national health care system is probably the most difficult since we fought for voting rights for everybody. We need you to work with us in every way including the financing of this project.

It will take all of us everybody who believes that health care is a right, not just another product to be sold to the highest bidder. No contribution is too small. A lot of people are making big sacrifices to try to assure health coverage for all. Please give us some TIME and some DOLLARS.

The truth is we can pay for a comprehensive healthcare program with the same money that we are now spending and cover every single person in the U.S. We don't have to break the bank. Our current healthcare budget would pay for a comprehensive national healthcare system. It is a matter of the will of the people to change the way that money is now being spent.
