PNHP

PNHP is committed to focusing on specific “Kitchen Table” issues, to show how single-payer Medicare for All would address Americans’ most pressing health care problems. See below for materials related to our Summer 2021 issue, America’s maternal mortality crisis, and scroll to the bottom for a list of additional topics.

America’s maternal mortality crisis (Summer 2021)

The United States is a tragic outlier among virtually all nations when it comes to large-scale, preventable, and worsening maternal mortality. This crisis is especially acute for Black and Indigenous mothers, and could be significantly reduced by meeting basic health needs through readily accessible, lifelong, and culturally competent care.

We encourage you to share the materials below with your colleagues, family members, friends, and neighbors during the summer of 2021 to remind them that our maternal mortality crisis is a kitchen table issue…and that Medicare for All is a necessary part of the solution.
