Tell Congress to pass the United States National Healthcare Insurance Act
Though the current health care "system" costs almost $2 trillion annually, 46 million Americans have no health insurance. Millions more have inadequate coverage for their needs, such as for prescription drugs.
Thousands die each year as a result.
This makes the US system the most expensive and least effective among all industrialized countries.
The United States National Health Insurance Act would change that. It would establish a national insurance program based on expanding Medicare that would include all U.S. residents.
The goal is to guarantee by law that all Americans would have access to the highest quality and most cost effective health care services regardless of their employment, income, or health care status.
Health care experts believe that this Medicare-for-all plan could save over $286 billion dollars a year in total health care costs.
Working families and employers would save thousands on premiums every year.
This program would cover all medically necessary services, including primary care, in-patient care, outpatient care, emergency care, prescription drugs, durable medical equipment, long term care, mental health services, dentistry, eye care, chiropractic, and substance abuse treatment.
Patients would have their choice of physicians, providers, hospitals, clinics, and practices. Medicare will be improved and everybody will get it.
