Healthcare Day of Action on Monday
Progress Now, Healthcare For All Colorado, the Colorado Consumer Healthcare Initiative, Nathan J. Wilkes and other healthcare activists are planning a Healthcare Day of Action on Monday at the state capitol.
Single-payer healthcare would deliver better outcomes cheaper and more effectively than the free market alternative. That's why insurance and pharmaceutical companies have had to spend so much trying to stop it. The healthcare industry has contributed $655 million to political campaigns since 1990. And pharmaceutical companies alone spent $800 million on lobbyists between 1998 and 2005.
Maybe that's why Americans are stuck spending "$477 billion a year more on healthcare than would be expected if the United States fit the spending pattern of 13 other advanced countries." And why "we're paying more than $50 billion so insurers can convince us we need care and then figure out how to deny those of us who'll actually use it."
Who's going to stick up for the truth? You are.
Use this link to tell the Colorado legislature how the current system has failed you. And if you can make it to the capitol on Monday, here's the schedule.
