Welcome to HealthCare4AllPA

We are building a movement across Pennsylvania to support all advocates of single-payer healthcare and hold those in power accountable to the challenge of true healthcare reform.

Health Care for All PA is outraged at the killing of George Floyd and the rampant police brutality aimed at protesters and even journalists during the past two weeks. As an organization committed to social justice we are obligated to speak out. Health Care 4 All PA was founded in 2006 and has been relentless in educating the public and legislators about the social justice advances and economic advantages of a New and Improved Medicare for All (aka Single Payer) model of health care for all Pennsylvanians. We have also joined other groups in advocating for federal solutions.

But we have long recognized that providing quality, comprehensive, and affordable health care for all will not address all the gaps in public health and all the structural racism that is embedded in our system. The vastly greater impact of the pandemic on people of color and immigrants has highlighted the tragic inequality that has its roots in slavery, Jim Crow, mass incarceration, and genocide. As we continue to work for universal healthcare, we will take action to insure that the specific health needs of people of color and the immigrant community are addressed, partnering with NAACP, Make the Road and like-minded organizations. Ending this inequality is a moral imperative, but also benefits everyone’s health as the pandemic has made starkly clear.
