Americans Deserve Health Care
Join our Fight for Better Healthcare
Imagine yourself going to a doctor, hospital or clinic for any reason, anywhere you are in the country, checking in with a card, receiving treatment, walking out without pulling out your wallet, and never getting a bill. You did exactly that when you got the Covid vaccine.
​
​For that instant in time America had a universal single-payer health care system. How? All of us paid taxes to the federal government which paid for the vaccines and logistics of getting it into our arms, and we got what we paid for – health care.
Every American wants – needs – to be well. Illness caused by whatever reason is not only painful; it deprives us of the ability to work, or work at our best, to provide shelter and food for ourselves and our loved ones, the ability to fully take part with our families and in our communities. Yet our current health system is failing too many Americans, striping too many of dignity, self-respect, and individual humanity. When we need medical care, we want trained, licensed health care providers to help us. Yet far too many Americans cannot get the care they need.
Why?
​
Because the powerful medical industrial complex stands between us and our health care professionals. Non-medically licensed employees and algorithms decide who gets treatment, who can afford treatment, and how much profit must be taken in. Physicians for a National Health Program thinks Americans deserve a health system that puts patients before profits.
