Our Mission: Single-Payer National Health Insurance

From Physicians for a National Health Program

"The U.S. spends twice as much as other industrialized nations on
health care, $7,129 per capita. Yet our system performs poorly in
comparison and still leaves 46 million without health coverage and
millions more inadequately covered.

"This is because private insurance bureaucracy and paperwork consume
one-third (31 percent) of every health care dollar. Streamlining
payment though a single nonprofit payer would save more than $350
billion per year, enough to provide comprehensive, high-quality
coverage for all Americans."
