How to Fix Health Care: Single-Payer – Medicare for All!
Republicans and the right wing claim President Obama’s plan is a “government takeover.” It is nothing of the sort. His plan keeps the private, for-profit insurers at the heart of the system and mandates the uninsured to buy coverage or be penalized. Advocates of single-payer health care support John Conyers’ legislation, HR 676, expanded and improved Medicare for all. Conyers’ bill abolishes the insurance industry and makes health care a human right for all – including the undocumented.
Come listen to a panel of experts explain the single-payer solution and the struggle to win it.
