Medicare for All! End Private Insurance

A broad coalition of Bay Area and state-wide political single payer advocates will hold a two hour rally in favor of "Medicare-for-all" (i.e. single payer health care) and in opposition to the health insurance industry.

The rally will explain why a single payer health care system will meet the medical needs of all Americans.

The rally participants are calling for the end of private health insurance. These insurance companies spend 30 cents of each health care dollar on profits and administrative costs while insuring the healthy and avoiding the sick.
