Our Health Care System is beyond broken or sick. It’s dumb. We spend more than twice as much per capita than most developed countries, the taxpayer is already paying for 60% of the total bill, and, by any measure of public health, our results are poor.
Over a hundred people gathered to learn about the myths and realities of single-payer healthcare. We also gained skills to effectively lobby elected officials to establish a sustainable and universal healthcare system.
During this daylong conference, we discussed the current state of the US healthcare system, compared our system to other systems around the world, and gained an understanding of a proven alternative.
