SINGLE PAYER BILL WILL BE REINTRODUCED ON DECEMBER 4, 2002
From MassCARE:
The Massachusetts Health Care Trust will be resubmitted on December 4, 2002. �Activists will be in the State House gathering signatures of legislative cosponsors on:
�����������
Tuesday, December 3rd � 10am to 4pm � call the office at 800-383-1973 if you would like to join us. �We will meet at the 4th Floor cafeteria
Wednesday, December 4th � 9am to 1pm in Room 222 at the State House. Join us if you can.
Senator Steve Tolman (D-Brighton) and Representative Frank Hynes (D-Marshfield) are the new lead sponsors for the bill. �Both legislators agree that the best strategy is to file the bill only in the Senate, this makes it easier to move. �Frank Hynes will be listed as the lead House sponsor and will sign right under Steve Tolman. �Representatives can sign onto a Senate bill, I am assured that Reps are used to doing this.
CALL YOUR STATE SENATOR AND STATE REPRESENTATIVE AND TELL THEM THAT YOU EXPECT THEM TO SIGN ON AS A COSPONSOR.
THANK YOU.
