2018 PNHP NY Metro Membership Drive
Join or renew your membership to PNHP before December 2nd, and you will be entered in a sweepstakes to win one of 10 available copies of the gripping book, The Power to Heal: Civil Rights, Medicare, and the Struggle to Transform America’s Health Care System, by medical expert and skilled storyteller Dr. David Barton Smith.
As Dr. Jack Geiger, Logan Professor Emeritus of Community Medicine at CUNY Medical School, explains, “The Power to Heal brings to life the neglected history of one of the greatest victories of the civil rights struggles—the successful confrontation with the institutional racism and racial segregation long entrenched in America’s hospitals, north as well as south, that had relegated African American patients to basement wards and inferior treatment.”

Join or renew your membership to PNHP before October 1st, and you will be entered in a sweepstakes to win two free tickets to Michael Moore's new Broadway Show The Terms of My Surrender.
The New York Times called it "one of the 5 must see shows on Broadway" right now.
Michael Moore's film SiCKO made a huge impact on the movement for guaranteed health care. He's always been a friend to our cause, and we are thrilled that he has offered PNHP membership this opportunity. If you don't win the raffle, you'll still receive a discount code once the winner is drawn.

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.
We had a wonderful gala on June 13, honoring champions dedicated to health justice. This year’s honorees included Martha Livingston,Ph.D., Senator Gustavo Rivera, and the Residency Program in Social Medicine at Montefiore. Just two weeks earlier, for the first time ever, the New York State Senate Health Committee held an official public hearing on the “New York Health Act” (NYHA), a bill to create a fully-public universal healthcare program covering all New York residents. It was ideal to celebrate this milestone with our guests and honorees - so many of whom helped contribute to this latest victory for our healthcare for all movement.
