The Issue

House Ways and Means Chairman Charles B. Rangel (D-NY) announced that the Committee will hold another hearing in a series on reforming the health insurance market.

The hearing will take place at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, April 22, and will focus on strategies to reform the health insurance market to ensure greater accessibility and affordability.

Healthcare-NOW! and allied organizations have been requesting fair hearings that include the single-payer perspective.

Help us make sure that Chairman Rangel hears us loud and clear. Email his office now to request they invite expert single-payer witnesses to testify.

To date, single-payer is the only reform that will cover everyone and contain healthcare costs. Anything less will not achieve these goals.
