This website supports state organizations working at the grassroots for universal health care (UHC). We
do not include organizations working on incremental health reforms, that work is
vital but differs fundamentally from UHC work.
OUR MISSION: Project EINO educates the public, encouraging state movement towards an equitable health care system guaranteeing universal access to care, to be accomplished by support of grassroots organizing and empowerment of those communities most at-risk in the current health care system. A focus on the 'Right to Health Care' is recommended as the best strategy to empower these communities.
STRATEGIC KEY: The Right
to Health Care
We encourage all state UHC organizations to recognize that empowering the underprivileged in our society (ethnic minorities, low-income workers etc.) is key to our movements success. These massive sectors of society will become energetic proponents of this movement when we demonstrate our commitment to the "Right to Health Care" for all Americans, similar to the "Right to Education" on which American parents now depend. |

This weeks' quote (Apr 29):
"
The premium amount each insured person pays must reflect the expected cost of providing coverage (i.e. all health care costs) to that insured person or family.

Last week's quote (Apr 29)
"
Americans don't really know that Medicare is a single payer system. They don't really think about that. They think about these foreign countries that they hear all these terrible stories about, whether they're true or not, which they're often not. And so talking about single payer really is a conversation ender for most Americans, because then they become very nervous about socialized medicine and all the rest of this. So I never really seriously considered supporting single-payer.
