Take to the lanes Saturday May 12th and make a strike for single payer!
Roll in solidarity with us here in Chicago and let your lawmakers know that corporate insurance has gone OVER THE LINE for far too long and that no matter what the court decides, single payer advocates ain't going nowhere until every American is treated with the dignity they deserve and get the care that they need, when they need it.
It's simple. If you're sick, you go see a doctor.
Natch!
Join fellow Kossack Donna Smith, featured in Michael Moore's "Sicko" and legislative advocate for the mighty mighty California Nurses Association plus a slew of single payer activists from Progressive Democrats of America-IL, Physicians for a National Health Program, Illinois Media Progressives, Chicago Single Payer Action Network and the Illinois Single Payer Coalition as united we roll to pick up health care for ALL!
Our stalwart league of single payer bowlers here in Illinois have been waxing and working the lanes of the legislature to slide in HB 311, the Health Care for All Illinois Act which will knock down the financial barriers to health care access. So if you can spare moment, help us here in Illinois by signing and sharing our petition to Governor Quinn. Tell him NOT to cut Medicaid which will shut out thousands of patients who have no other options for care and to support HB 311, Medicare for All instead!
Illinois governor Pat Quinn proposes to cut $2.7 billion (19%) from the state's $14 billion Medicaid budget. Three million Illinois residents (almost 1 in 4) depend on Medicaid for access to health care.
By making these steep cuts, the Governor is essentially cutting off access to health care, hospice care, and prescription drugs to hundreds of thousands of Illinois residents who have no other options. He is also cutting home care for the disabled. In addition he proposes to cut Medicaid’s already low provider reimbursements by another 8%, making it more difficult for all Medicaid patients to find doctors who can afford to treat them.
Please sign now!
