Single-payer to be introduced on the floor of the House of Representatives

Thanks to all of your phone calls, lobby visits, faxes, emails, rallies, Medicare Birthday Parties, and the leadership of Rep. Anthony Weiner, single-payer healthcare will be debated and voted on by the US House of Representatives in September!
Call your Rep. today (866-338-1015) and tell them you support single-payer healthcare and Rep. Kucinich's amendment to enable states to pass single-payer.

Polls consistently show that the public supports a Medicare for All system, and 59% of physicians support it.
Thanks for all of your support for single-payer healthcare. Nothing less will do!

Come protest why Single Payer is not on the Table?

Come out with your single payer signs and lets greet them.

I wanted to make you aware of a very exciting event in Philadelphia this weekend.

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius will be at the National Constitution Center, 6th and Arch Streets, Philadelphia at 3:00PM on Sunday for a town hall on Health Reform. Senator Specter and Congressman Fattah will also be there.

This event is free and open to the public and I would encourage you to spread the word to any interested parties. Let me know if you’re planning to attend.
