Happy 43rd Anniversary Medicare!
Join the National Call in Day! Call your Congressional representative! Have your friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors call too! Call toll free: 1-866-338-1015. Find out if your representative is a cosponsor of HR 676 here. If so, thank them! If not, then follow this sample script: "Medicare has worked successfully for 43 years in providing quality health care to residents 65 years and older, while keeping administrative costs down. A single payer, guaranteed healthcare approach to reform is the only answer to the healthcare crisis in this country. Please sign on to HR 676 today!"

Join the effort to change America's broken healthcare system.

43 years ago today, Medicare became the law of the land. And since that day, millions and millions of seniors and disabled Americans have received high-quality healthcare without the for-profit overhead and waste.
Today, 91 Congressional representatives are co-sponsors of HR676, a single payer healthcare bill, which would create Medicare-like coverage for all Americans. It would provide public funding of privately delivered healthcare and free every American to choose his or her own doctors and caregivers rather be bound by insurance company choices.
It's an affordable and ethical way to bring healthcare to all. Call your Congressional rep today. And do not worry if the call is placed tomorrow or the next day. It still matters. Take action.
And let's bring real healthcare to all.
