Date
Set for Hearing on Universal Single Payer Bill for Massachusetts
DATE: Wednesday, June 6, 2001
TIME: Rally @ 9:30am (Grand Staircase) Hearing 10:00am
PLACE: Massachusetts State House
The Massachusetts Legislature's Joint Committee on Health Care
has set the date of Wednesday, June 6, for this session's hearing
on H.2165/S.599, the Massachusetts Health Care Trust bill. See
the MASSCARE website to read the bill - www.masscare.org
We expect to hold a rally, participate in the hearing, and visit
state Representatives and Senators during that day. So, mark your
calendars now! Begin spreading the word! And look for more information
about this extremely important day!
The MNA is a long-time supporter of a single payer approach to
health care financing and is a long time member of MASSCARE, a
coalition of more than 70 organizations supporting this legislation.
Studies have shown that a single payer system is not only a viable
alternative, but an affordable alternative to the current corporatized,
market-driven, deregulated catastrophe that is the current model
of health care delivery in the Commonwealth. To learn more about
why nurses support single payer, visit the Single-Payer
page of the MNA web site.
