Act Now to Remove Barriers to State Single Payer in Federal Reforms
OUR LAST CHANCE FOR STATE SINGLE PAYER IN THE FEDERAL BILL-CALL NOW!
The Senate reform bill mandates that each state set up an insurance exchange through which private insurers would sell their plans to individuals and small businesses. The bill, as written, prevents states from creating alternatives, such as a single payer system until 2017, three years after the implementation of the insurance exchanges. Please contact your Congressman/Congresswoman and Senators to ask that Section 1332 be changed to allow state waivers immediately! For detailed information read this brief.

Volunteer for a Phone Bank to Mobilize Single-Payer Supporters
Phone banks are a very effective way to build political power. MUHCC hosts twice monthly phone banks to update and mobilize single-payer supporters in Minnesota. Phoning is a vital tool in our campaign; by reaching out to constituents we can influence legislators to support the Minnesota Health Act. Phone banks are FUN, people are happy to hear from us, and ready to take action on health care. Training is provided.
All phone banks take place at COACT - 2469 University Ave. West, Suite W150, St. Paul, MN 55114. COACT is in the Strommen Building; there is a free parking lot in back.
