Who We Are

We are Rhode Island physicians, medical students, health professionals and advocates who seek a universal, comprehensive single-payer national health program. Learn more About Us.

The Medical Care Crisis

  • Private insurance bureaucracy and paperwork consume almost one third (31%) of every health care dollar
  • 50 million Americans, including 10% of all Rhode Islanders under the age of 65, are uninsured, and many more are underinsured
  • About one million Americans are bankrupted by medical bills annually and three-quarters had insurance when they became ill

The Solution

A SINGLE PAYER PROGRAM as proposed by HR 676 will:

  • save almost $400 billion annually in administrative costs - enough to fully insure every American 
  • free physicians from time-wasting wrangling with insurance company administrators to get care for our patients
  • provide choice of physicians and hospitals for our patients
