National Day of Action
May 30, 2009
The majority of Americans and physicians agree: We need
a national, single-payer healthcare system. Yet, Single-Payer
healthcare is largely ignored as a viable option. So,
on May 30th, Healthcare-NOW! is organizing a Nationwide
Day of Action.
Join thousands of single-payer activists 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.
For more information, or to see if there's an event
being planned in your community, visit the May
30th Page.
Win-Win Campaign
We want YOU for a new campaign targeting local government
entities – cities, towns, counties, school boards
– in an effort to get them to endorse HR 676.
Our hook is big money savings in a time of fiscal crisis
for governments.
In a nutshell, the employer payroll tax that will be
required for health coverage under HR 676 is considerably
less (usually one-third to one-half) of what government
entities now pay in health insurance premiums for their
workers. HR 676 will mean savings for public employees,
too.
Healthcare-NOW! welcomes everyone’s help. If you
live in a big city with a progressive mayor who might
quickly see the light and sign on to HR 676, we especially
hope you will sign up. Visit the Win-Win
Campaign Page for more information.
