Currently 47 million Americans do not have health care coverage. Millions more Americans are under-insured, causing bankruptcy and tearing families apart. Every other industrialized nation in the world provides a basic standard of universal care for its citizens. DFA members are working to make sure America's sick are no longer left behind.
DFA members have taken this fight local. From the California legislature to the Governor of Massachusetts, we've been on the ground lobbying local leaders to fix our broken system....
DFA members supported the expansion of the State Children Health Insurance Program (S-CHIP) to cover more than 10 million American kids. We wrote letters, made calls and met directly with elected members of both parties. ...we worked in coalition with our partners in the Service Employees International Union and others to... overturn the President's veto.
In the words of Governor Howard Dean, "we can guarantee healthcare for all if we give every American the freedom to choose between keeping their private insurance - if they have any - and a universally available public healthcare option like Medicare." That is why DFA has launched StandwithDrDean.com -- the online organizing hub for healthcare reform.
