Gray Panthers believe that the only REAL health care reform that would be fair and equitable to ALL people and would eliminate administrative and economic waste would be a single payer health care system. We have advocated this position since our inception in 1970 and the Gray Panthers have not stop fighting for a single payer system. But unfortunately, the legislation being most discussed this month is H.R. 3200: America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009 and because of the blatant lies being spread about this legislation, we feel the need to address the Myths and Facts.

President Obama has said that now is not the time to implement a single payer health care program in America but we DISAGREE. And the Gray Panthers needs to keep banging the single payer drum and letting President Obama know that there are people who elected him into office that demand he do the right thing!

Gray Panthers can make it easy for you to contact your Senators, representatives and President Obama. Please visit our Action Center. We have added a new Action Alert on single payer.

Please also sign your name on this petition and send it or fax it to your two Senators and Representative. You can find your legislators by clicking here.
