Health Care for All

We believe that health care is a human right and should be available to everyone.

We also believe the same level of care should be available across the board, regardless of ability to pay for treatment.

What if the fire department decided to not send its newest equipment to a particular house because the homeowner didn't have "Cadillac" insurance?

While we know that Anthony Weiner's single payer bill (HR 676) will not pass this time around, we call on all members of Congress to support this approach since it is the only true solution to the health care crisis.

As the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) goes on estimating the percentages of Americans that will be covered by this bill or that bill, Weiner's bill stands alone in its ethical simplicity: It will cover 100 percent of the people, no CBO guessing games needed.
