On October 2nd, Healthcare-NOW! joined with tens of thousands of progressives at the One Nation rally to add the message that we still need healthcare reform and we want improved Medicare for All. The crowd was wildly in favor of our message. See all the news and photos from the One Nation rally here. Since the launch of Healthcare-NOW!'s newest campaign, Hands Off Our Medicare, thousands have joined with us to say, "No cuts to our social insurance programs - we must protect, improve, and expand them." Healthcare-NOW! has called for the entire Commission to be disbanded because they are incapable of dealing with the needs of the people and social insurance programs that work for us. See what is next for Social Security and Medicare and how you can help. Show your support for Healthcare-NOW! and single-payer healthcare. Our "Improved Medicare for All" t-shirts are now available for $25. The shirts are available in navy blue or gray and are union made in the USA.
