Hoosiers for a Commonsense Health Plan is a group of Indiana
citizens who support a publicly financed, privately delivered
(single payer) universal health plan at the state and national
level. HCHP is working to educate the public and the legislature
about the benefits of a single payer plan. We are seeking
individuals and groups who have an interest in helping achieve
this goal.
The U.S. spends twice as much as other industrialized nations
on health care, yet it ranks only 39 among nations in terms of
health outcomes and we have 46 million without health coverage
and millions more with inadequate coverage.
Private insurance bureaucracy and paperwork consume 31 percent
of every health care dollar. Streamlining payment though a single
nonprofit payer would save more than $350 billion per year
nationally, enough to provide comprehensive, high-quality
coverage for all Americans.
HCHP is a state affiliate of Physicians for a National Health
Program and supports its goal of national single-payer health
insurance. PNHP

Mr. Obama, "A Better Approach"
"If anyone from either party has a better approach that will bring down premiums, bring down the deficit, cover the uninsured, strengthen Medicare for seniors, and stop insurance company abuses, let me know." In his State of the Union address Wednesday night, the President admitted that his plan for healthcare reform has run into trouble. Read the full Op Ed

Contact House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to call up the Weiner Amendment, HR 676 Expanded and Improved Medicare for All. http://speaker.house.gov/contact/
Thank her in advance for calling up the Amendment for a full floor vote to assure universal, comprehensive and high quality coverage through a publicly financed system.
There is talk that no Amendments will be heard. Your call and email is critically important.
We have the opportunity of a lifetime right now to achieve
universal health care in the United States. While the economic
recession is making things worse for everyone, it is also making
it clearer that solving our health care problem is a crucial part
of economic recovery. Right now is the time to speak up. Our
elected leaders need to hear from us. We can be a part of the
change we want to see happen!
