Donate to our End Of Year Campaign TODAY
Fed up with for-profit healthcare?
Join our #MedStoryMonday campaign featuring stories (examples below) from health workers and students in support of the NY Health Act & Medicare for All!
Our stories play a significant role in shaping public perceptions and attitudes towards single-payer universal healthcare and healthcare workers are in a unique position to speak out about systemic injustice and to advocate for our patients. Help uplift the stories of the suffering endured, care denials and barriers, and resources wasted in the current U.S. healthcare system that treats care as a commodity rather than as a human right.
Physicians, nurses, midwives, dentists, residents, public health workers and students, medical students, doulas, home care workers: we want to hear from you!
CLICK HERE to share your story today to be featured in a #MedStoryMonday quotegraphic!

Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP) is a single-issue organization advocating a universal, comprehensive single-payer national health program. PNHP has 22,000 members and over 50 chapters across the United States.
Since 1987, we've advocated for reform in the U.S. health care system. We educate physicians and other health professionals about the benefits of a single-payer system--including fewer administrative costs and affording health insurance for the 30 million Americans who have none.
Our members and physician activists work toward a single-payer national health program in their communities. PNHP performs ground breaking research on the health crisis and the need for fundamental reform, coordinates speakers and forums, participates in town hall meetings and debates, contributes scholarly articles to peer-reviewed medical journals, and appears regularly on national television and news programs advocating for a single-payer system.
PNHP is the only national physician organization in the United States dedicated exclusively to implementing a single-payer national health program.
