How Much Would H.R. 676, Single Payer, Guaranteed Healthcare Cost ME? (Click to go Down to Balloon Flyer) and
Professor Livingston's Talking Points at bottom of page.
Says SPOCK (on
a blog)
"I have an idea, since the Republicans like the current system so much,
why don't we assess a new tax on Republicans only, and use the money to
compensate doctors and hospitals for excessive red tape in claims
processing, and to compensate the consumers who get screwed by their
insurance carriers who make up phony reasons to deny claims? Later on,
after single-payer is adopted, we'll phase out that tax because it
won't be needed. "
Read the bill, H.R. 676, and help get it passed.

Talking Points from Martha Livingston, PNHP Metro New York
Dear Health Care Activist,
Since the early 1990s, we in the New York Metro chapter of Physicians for a National Health Program have organized speaker/leadership training workshops for health care activists, and we’re pleased to share several of our tools with you. What you have below are two handouts, one a lengthy summary of the argument for single payer national health insurance and one a “quickie” you can use when you’re in a one-on-one situation and have about a minute to make your case. The statistics in the handouts are current as of 2007. The lengthy piece is an outline of how I personally organize my talks; you may want to frame your argument differently, and use these data to help make the case in a way that YOU are comfortable making it.
In our workshops, activists spend time with more seasoned
speakers
learning how to present our story. We’ve found that after even one
all-day workshop, folks who came in the morning feeling as though they
could NEVER speak on our issue leave feeling prepared to do so, or at
least to accompany more seasoned speakers and help answer questions.
The single most important piece of advice that I’d like to share is,
the bad guys will try to make you think that our issue is way too
complicated for you to understand, and if you think single payer is the
answer, you mustn’t have gone to college long enough or at all. The
fact is, our issue is really very simple. We’re spending more on health
care, and getting less health care for our money, than anyone else on
the planet, and we need to get some health care justice, the sooner the
better.
Please feel free to contact me at <martha.livingston@rcn.com> with any questions. In the meantime, get in there and fight! What do we want? Health care! When do we want it? NOW!!!
Peace and solidarity,
Martha Livingston
Vice-chair
PNHP, New York-Metro chapter

TALKING POINTS for a talk on National Health Care
Martha Livingston
PNHP Advocacy/Speaker Training Workshop
1. We spend more on health care than any other nation on the planet. We’re paying for national health care, we’re just not getting it.
2. And yet we are unique among the rich nations in NOT providing health care as a right to all of our people: consequences.
3. Where’s the money going? Profiteering, waste.
4. How did all those other countries do it, and how come we
never did it before?
100 years is enough!
Don’t get caught in the “Canada trap!” Other countries’ systems are
there for us to learn from, but we’ll have our own system.
5. Can we do it? Is it ever going to be politically possible?
And what can YOU
do?
