Health care is a civil right

A CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT FOR THE 21ST CENTURY

On scores of overall health, the U.S. ranks Number 37 in the world; 14 in preventable deaths, 24 in healthy life expectancy, 72 in health system performance, but Number TWO in total health expenditure as a percentage of GDP. We spend more and have worse health than other nations.

If this is unacceptable to you, join us in demanding that Congress recognize access to affordable, high-quality health care as a basic civil right. You are already paying for it, so why not enjoy the benefits of it?

We are part of a grass-roots effort to organize a civil rights movement for health care for all under a single-payer system.
