May 30th: National Day of Action

Nationwide Rallies for Improved Medicare for All





Join thousands of single-payer supporters in a nationwide week of action to support improved Medicare for all (HR 676). Single-payer activists will be gathering all over the country to say, "Healthcare, yes; Insurance companies, no," and to show solidarity with demonstrations at the AHIP (American Health Insurance Plans, a private health insurance lobby) conference in San Diego. If an action isn't already in your city, plan your own day of action! It can be a town hall meeting, demonstration in front of a local insurance company, film showing, vigil, or your own unique idea. Let us know what you'd like to start planning by contacting info@healthcare-now.org. 47 million Americans are uninsured. Private insurance rates are rising faster than inflation and our incomes. By 2025 the cost of private health insurance will exceed our projected income. A national, single-payer healthcare system is the only healthcare reform option that will cover every American resident while saving us billions of dollars. The majority of Americans want it. The majority of physicians want it. The only thing missing is the political will in Washington.

If you live in a rural area or somewhere a group action is not planned, join us in a 'CyberMarch' - choose your avatar who will go to Washington for you on May 30.

Consider doing some Freeway blogging for Single Payer.

Join The Daily Kos HealthCare Google Group.

It is not a discussion list - the purpose is only to share links to Health Care diaries published here at Daily Kos so that those interested in the issue can find them. Not everyone can be on Daily Kos all day.

Anyone can share a link - to your own diary or someone elses.
