SUPPORT FOR A SINGLE PAYER, MEDICARE FOR ALL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM HAS MY VOTE

As unions, public health committees, healthcare professionals and caregivers, political organizations, elected officials and concerned individuals living and working in New York State, we place our highest priority on the achievement of universal healthcare and continued progress in access to quality healthcare for all.

We believe that healthcare should be a right, not a privilege, for all who live in the United States.

Towards this paramount goal, essential to the health and safety of our country, we are united in a long-standing effort to achieve a Single Payer, Medicare for All healthcare system that would provide care on the basis of patient need and bring to an end the profiteering of the health insurance industry.

We are resolved that the time for transition to a Single Payer, Medicare for All system is now.

This is one of the critical reasons we are supporting Senator Bernie Sanders, whose principled support for a Single Payer, Medicare for All system is a centerpiece of his campaign platform, in the New York Democratic Presidential Primary on April 19, 2016. Senator Sanders’ position is most consistent with our own principles and values and he deserves our vote.

Nurses have a lot of knowledge of the nightmare that is US health care today.

The poster child for health care injustice.
