SINGLE PAYER HEALTHCARE LEGISLATION ENDORSED BY PNHP-CA

PNHP-CA advocates for state and national single payer legislation. We develop relationships with our Senators and Representatives to promote bills and monitor their progress through committees. While our 501c(3) status prohibits us from campaigning for individuals, we do endorse and campaign for bills that advance single payer.

Current pending national legislation:

The Medicare for All bill HR 3421, introduced by Jayapal and Dingell.
Senate bill S1655, introduced by Bernie Sanders.

Ask your federal representatives to co-sponsor and champion these bills.
