"I wasn't going to fight them alone, so I ended up hiring a lawyer and they eventually paid up but it cost me dearly. I lost six weeks of wages when I was off recovering from my injury. Our income is approximately $40,000 a year, and we have two kids in college and a mortgage. It has caused a lot of unnecessary stress both at home and at work. Why is this happening in one of the richest countries in the world? Why aren’t we entitled to guaranteed healthcare?"

Eighty-two percent of Americans think the U.S. healthcare system should be fundamentally changed or completely rebuilt (Commonwealth Fund, Aug. 7, 2008). America's nurses know that only single-payer, improved and expanded Medicare for all will fix our broken system and the tragedy of our devastated families. HR 676, by U.S. Rep John Conyers, is the most comprehensive, cost effective way to achieve guaranteed healthcare for all.
