National Single Payer conference in Chicago October 2015
We're excited to announce that Healthcare-NOW! will be hosting a joint national strategy conference with the Labor Campaign for Single-Payer Health Care and One Payer States at the Chicago Hilton, October 30 through November 1. Please mark your calendars! A registration page will be posted on our web-site next week.
Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP) will also be holding their annual meeting in a nearby hotel and we'll be teaming up with PNHP activists for a number of joint events including an action, joint workshops, and a reception with United Steelworkers President Leo Gerard and National Nurses United Co-President Jean Ross among other featured speakers.
This will be the first ever conference that brings together every national organization leading the single-payer movement, regional and local unions, and state and local advocacy groups. We will come together five years after the passage of the Affordable Care Act and 50 years after the launch of Medicare to discuss the next steps in the fight for healthcare justice. This conference will be an historic opportunity to assess our strengths and weaknesses, learn from our experiences and build unity as we work to win single-payer, Medicare for All for everyone in America.
The early registration fee will be $75 and will include the Friday reception and Saturday lunch. A block of hotel rooms will be available at the Chicago Hilton for $159 per night. Rooms can be reserved online or by calling 877-865-5320 and referencing NSC/Single Payer Strategy Conference. Alternative housing arrangements will be available for those who need to attend the conference on a budget!
Yours in solidarity,
Ben and Zoraida
