Organizations for health care reform.

The following list is meant as a resource for grassroots organizing for health care reform. Many organizations are stepping up their efforts in response to the imminent announcement of the Clinton administration's health care reform proposals. There are three major national organizations working for the same goals in support of a single-payer system: Universal Health Care Action Network (UHCAN!), a network of health care reform groups with a national clearinghouse in Cleveland, Ohio; Citizen Action, with affiliates in more than 30 states; and Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP), centered in Cambridge and Chicago and with local chapters in various states. There is also a national organization, Campaign for Health Security, working in support of the American Health Security Act of 1993 (S 491 and HR 1200), the Wellstone-Conyers-McDermott single-payer bill. Many states have health care campaigns supporting a single-payer system, as do many progressive unions.
