In 2018, Healthcare-NOW and coalition partners launched a campaign to get Rep. Joe Kennedy, then-Rep for Massachusetts' 4th district, on the Medicare for All Act. Rep. Kennedy was of national importance to the movement because of his position on Energy and Commerce, the first committee that H.R. 1384 will have to pass in order to get to the floor for a vote.

To win, we must build a powerful social movement through education and action, so our work focuses on raising up the voices of patients who feel isolated in their struggles with the healthcare system, educating activists to gain the knowledge and skills they need to become leaders, and mobilizing our movement through collective action.

The United States is the only country in the developed world that does not guarantee access to basic health care for residents. Countries that guarantee health care as a human right do so through a "single-payer" system, which replaces the thousands of for-profit health insurance companies with a public, universal plan.
For a longer FAQ addressing more than 50 questions about single-payer healthcare, visit our allies at Physicians for a National Health Program. Answer: No. Every healthcare system has to ration its resources, but in the United States we ration based on ability to pay - leaving millions outside of the system - while single-payer systems ration based on medical need.
