Health Care for America Now is a national grassroots campaign organizing Americans to win a guarantee of quality, affordable health care insurance coverage for all. They are bringing together community organizers, nurses, doctors, small business owners, faith-based groups, organizations of people of color, and seniors who believe it is time we had an American solution that provides quality, affordable health care insurance coverage for everyone.
Learn about their proposed solution to offer real choice and a guarantee of quality, affordable health insurance coverage. They want to make sure you have the quality health care insurance coverage you need at the price you can afford.
