Will We Get Health Care Reform this Year?
By LEONARD RODBERG
PNHP NY Metro Chapter Board
Member and Research Director
A comprehensive overview of the current health care reform proposals and how such proposals are essentially a private health insurance industry bail-out as well as an excellent description of the underlying politics and the benefits of a single payer program.
ACTION ALERT:
Dear President Obama: endorse single payer
Steffie Woolhandler, MD
Tell President Obama that single-payer health reform is the only practicable way to achieve his stated goal of universal, comprehensive coverage at an affordable price.
Only single payer, by redirecting the vast sums wasted annually on bureaucracy and paperwork back into care, can assure high-quality coverage for everyone with no net increase in U.S. health spending. Only single payer can rein in costs.
Lesser reforms, with or without a “public option,” won’t fix our broken system.
Drs. Steffie Woolhandler and Quentin Young testified before Congress on June 24. Read their testimony and get additional analysis and lobbying materials here.
Margaret Flowers, MD
Physicians like Dr. Margaret Flowers were among 13 people arrested for demanding that single payer be “on the table” at two Senate Finance Committee meetings in May. Read why she took this action here.
