Everybody In. Nobody Out.
We are fighting for a national single-payer healthcare system because access to healthcare is basic to human dignity
WHAT IS MEDICARE FOR ALL?
TAKE ACTION
ONLINE TRAININGS
The Healthcare Census is a big project with a big goal: to talk with 10,000 of our friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers about the healthcare crisis in this country by December 31, 2022. We know that talking - and most important, really listening - to people is the only way to better understand the issues they are facing and invite them to join us in fighting for Medicare for All.
The Census interview is a 15-20 minute survey about issues people might face in getting or paying for medical treatment, and it's a great way to start a conversation about healthcare. The answers can remain anonymous, or respondents can give their contact info. The interview can be conducted over the phone, via zoom, or in-person (with COVID safety precautions in place) - whatever works best for you.
We need volunteers to conduct interviews with others, be interviewed themselves, coordinate a volunteer team, and/or help provide tech support to the campaign. Healthcare-NOW will provide all the tools and training you need and host monthly support calls where folks can report back on their progress, brainstorm solutions for common obstacles, and build community with other folks who are passionate about healthcare justice!
Sign up here, and find our hub for all Census resources!
If you are a member of a group that would like to join the Healthcare Census, you can find out more information about how to become a partner organization here!

In 2018, Healthcare-NOW and coalition partners launched a campaign to get Rep. Joe Kennedy, then-Rep for Massachusetts' 4th district, on the Medicare for All Act. Rep. Kennedy was of national importance to the movement because of his position on Energy and Commerce, the first committee that H.R. 1384 will have to pass in order to get to the floor for a vote.
